The Northeastern Arizona Indian Water Rights Settlement Agreement
For over 60 years, the Navajo Nation and Hopi Tribe have been engaged in legal battles to secure their water rights. In May, these Tribes and other parties announced a landmark settlement. If affirmed by Congress, the agreement will end the Tribes’ long struggle for water security.
- Read our new explainer on the Northeastern Arizona Indian Water Rights Settlement Agreement to learn more about the proposed settlement agreement.
- Join us on Wednesday, October 9, 2024 from 12 pm to 1 pm (MST) for a virtual discussion by experts representing the Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe, Arizona Governor’s Office and the City of Flagstaff to hear how the parties reached settlement and what it means for Tribal and non-tribal communities in Arizona.
This project is co-sponsored by the Arizona Water Innovation Initiative, a multi-year partnership with the state led by Arizona State University’s Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory in collaboration with the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering.
