We are pleased to share an important update regarding our ongoing advocacy for water rights and resource management. Recently, Senator Mark Kelly introduced several Arizona Tribal leaders, including representatives from the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe, at a Senate committee hearing focused on key water rights bills that impact Tribal communities across Arizona.
During the hearing, Tribal leaders highlighted the critical importance of recognizing and securing water rights for Indigenous communities. Access to water is not just an essential resource for our daily lives; it is vital for our cultural preservation, economic sustainability, and the overall health of our community.
Senator Kelly’s support underscores the need for equitable water management policies that respect the sovereignty and rights of Tribal nations. The San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe is committed to working alongside our Tribal counterparts to ensure that our voices are heard in decisions that affect our resources and future.
We encourage all our community members to stay informed about these developments and support the efforts of our leaders as we advocate for our rights and resources. Together, we can work toward a future where our water needs are met and our cultural heritage is preserved.
Thank you for your continued support!
