He will present a case-study about a 23-year legal challenge to regain his tribe’s inherent water rights. “Our once flowing river and underground water sources for the land base of our 27\,000-acre reservation were compromised due to the over pumping of our aquifer by the non-Indigenous settlers as they started to drill ground water wells beginning in the late 1800’s. The challenge started in 1975\, in the end\, an out of court settlement was reached granting us 50\,000 acre feet per year of Colorado River water\, via an approximately 300-mile pipeline\, and 10\,000 acre feet of natural groundwater per year and were awarded a cash settlement to rehabilitate our farm.
