On Tuesday, Ciscomani testified in front of the House Natural Resources Committee, urging his colleagues to swiftly pass his legislation to solidify and fund the agreement, the Northeastern Arizona Indian Water Rights Settlement Act (H.R. 8940), through the committee. On Wednesday, Ciscomani met with leadership from the Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe, and San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe, as well as stakeholders from the Arizona Department of Water Resources and Salt River Project.

"This settlement represents a monumental moment for the tribes and the State of Arizona’s water future as a whole,” said Ciscomani in his testimony. “It is hard to overstate the tireless efforts and decades of work that all parties of this legislation have put into this settlement. For far too long, many tribal communities in Northern Arizona have had a lack of access or no access at all to clean drinking water. It is high time we right this wrong and ensure these families and communities have reliable water resources, which is the foundation of a thriving community.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:24:45Z |
