The
House is due to consider three Indian water rights bills today.
The bills are:
• H.R.1065,
the White Mountain Apache Tribe Water Rights Quantification Act, affecting the White Mountain Apache Tribe of Arizona.
• H.R.3254,
the Taos Pueblo Indian Water Rights Settlement Act, affecting Taos Pueblo of New Mexico.
• H.R.3342,
the Aamodt Litigation Settlement Act, affecting Nambe
Pueblo, Pojoaque Pueblo, Tesuque
Pueblo and San Ildefonso Pueblo
The bills were approved by the
House Natural Resources Committee on September 30. At the time, Republicans raised concerns about the costs of the settlements and whether the
Department of Justice had input.
The bills are the first on the
agenda today, according to the
House Democratic Majority Leader.
