Sixteen tribal nations will receive $1.7 billion as part of Indian water rights settlements, Interior Secretary Deb HaalandOver the years, at least 34 tribes have turned to settlements to resolve conflicts with the federal government over water rights. Tuesday's announcement is aimed at funding infrastructure for Native Americans to store and transport water so they no longer have to suffer from lack of access.
"With this crucial funding from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Interior Department will be able to uphold our trust responsibilities and ensure that Tribal communities receive the water resources they have long been promised," she added. "I am grateful that Tribes, some of whom have been waiting for this funding for decades, are finally getting the resources they are owed."Aamodt Litigation Settlement .Navajo-Utah Water Rights Settlement and Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project.
