Native waters : contemporary Indian water settlements and the second treaty era

McCool, Daniel 1950- (Author).

Summary: "Since the beginning of the reservation era, the bitter conflict between Indians and non-Indians over water rights was largely confined to the courtroom. But in the 1980s the federal government began to emphasize negotiated settlements over lawsuits, and the settlements are changing water rights in fundamental ways - not only for tribes but also for non-Indian communities that share scarce water resources with Indians."
