Abstract

In 2022, the Court of Appeals again remanded the case back to the District Court with instructions to "fully consider the [breach of trust] claim on its merits...." Navajo Nation v. USDOI, 26 F.4th 794 (9th Cir. 2022). The Navajo Nation's breach of trust claim was primarily based upon its 1868 Treaty with the United States and the common law reserved water rights doctrine established by the Supreme Court in Winters, 207 U.S. at 576-57. On June 22, 2023, the high court issued a 5-4 ruling in the consolidated cases of Arizona v. Navajo Nation and Navajo Nation v. U.S. Department of the Interior. [Extracted from the article]
