Our project is based on the recent Supreme Court decision on the Navajo Nation’s water rights to Colorado River. We interviewed a Navajo Nation Water Rights attorney that explained the legality of the case and a Native American and Indigenous Studies professor that shared the significance of water for the Navajo community and other related tribes.
Jacy and Cierra Charley are sisters from Chinle, Arizona. Jacy is a double major in Environmental Studies & Political Science, and Cierra is a Political Science major, and both of them are graduating in December! They have worked on audio media projects in the past and approached this project with the goal of helping others understand some of the complicated water law issues that are currently being determined in US courts.
