A proposed settlement has been introduced to the Navajo Nation Council, marking the first step in securing Colorado River water rights for three Native American tribes. The Navajo Nation, which has one of the largest outstanding claims in the Colorado River basin, will vote on the measure in a special session. The settlement, which carries a price tag larger than any such agreement enacted by Congress, requires multiple approvals, culminating with Congress. This agreement aims to address long-standing water rights issues for the tribes involved.
