Abstract

The article discusses the recent Supreme Court case of Arizona v. Navajo Nation, which addressed the issue of Tribal water rights. The Court ruled that the Navajo Nation's treaties with the United States did not impose an obligation on the government to assess and meet the Nation's water needs. The article also provides background on the Winters Doctrine, which established that Indian reservations imply reserved water rights necessary for their creation. The Navajo Nation decision is likely to have implications for future efforts to secure Tribal water resources, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by many tribes in accessing their water rights.
