Opis

In January 1908, the Supreme Court ruled that when land is set aside for the use of Indian tribes, that reservation of land includes reserved water rights. The Winters Doctrine is now a fundamental principle of both federal Indian law and water law. In this detailed collection of essays, lawyers, historians, and tribal leaders explore its legacy.
