Native Americans Win Rights to Water
For years, more than 40 percent of Navajo Nation residents had to transport their water to their homes from off-reservation sources. But President Obama signed into law the Omnibus Public Lands Management Act, which settles water rights for the San Juan River and grants safe and clean water to the 80,000 people of the Navajo Nation and other tribes. The Bush administration was opposed to the act, but oh, the small changes that a new administration can bring.
