US Supreme Court Rules Against Navajo Nation in Water Dispute over Colorado River
The US Supreme Court ruled against the Navajo Nation in a water rights case, stating that the tribe waited too long to file its claim against the state of Arizona. The case involved the San Juan River, which runs through the Navajo Nation's reservation and is a crucial source of water for the tribe. The ruling means that the Navajo Nation will not be able to claim a larger share of the river's water.
