A bipartisan group of lawmakers has reintroduced the Northeastern Arizona Indian Water Rights Settlement Act of 2025, aiming to secure water rights for the Navajo Nation and the Hopi Tribe.
The $5.1 billion agreement seeks to resolve long-standing disputes over water access in Arizona, ensuring clean water for tribal communities. The bill had previously failed to reach a vote before the last Congress adjourned in 2024. Senators Gallego and Kelly are leading the renewed push, emphasizing the importance of water security for Native American tribes in the Colorado River Basin.
If passed, the settlement would mark a historic step in addressing tribal water rights in the region.
