This is such a racist and sick conservative decision. America will NEVER recover from its racist past until they redress this systemic racism. My heart goes out to the Navajo people and their continued suffering along with other Indigenous peoples in the USA and beyond.

The federal government forced the Navajo off their homeland and onto a dry SW reservation and promised them sufficient water, but the groundwater there is too toxic to use for drinking or irrigation so they have to truck water to their homes. Does that seem fair? It doesn't to me or any other reasonable person.
So take everybody's rights. Either by upholding twisted laws or by striking down legitimate ones. They don't have time for this, there's a billionaire's plane waiting at the airport to take them to a tropical resort.

I know the disappointment is extreme. I am Apache. For the people on the reservation, what is the realistic alternative strategy now that SCOTUS has made its decision? How does this impact the ruling by Winters? One thing that was common among indigenous culture was the concept of learning by trial-and-error. When the cougar hunts, it doesn't succeed automatically. It learns by trial-and-error and gains intelligence, strength and speed to finally succeed in hunting. So, a serious attempt was made to obtain water rights via the "system" but SCOTUS rules against the Navajos. Now, the Navajos have insight into what they are dealing with in regards to the modern federal government and the Winters decision long ago. With that new information, is there now another pragmatic path of realism that can be strategized to obtain the water needed for the impoverished communities? Path A didn't work, so then what is Path B? There must be some degree of pragmatism and optimization of water access that could be achieved in spite of the ruling. Life goes on. As for me, given the sociological problems on the reservation and border-town racism, I left the reservation for a career decades ago and am now an engineer with six master's degrees. I am currently working on a PhD in AI/ML while working as a corporate engineer.
Obviously we now know we have problems in our Supreme court. All those judges that voted against the Navajo Nation having access to water, violated their Oath of office-which is against the law under U.S. Code. You see, according to our U.S. Constitution's very first paragraph, ( which is what our Constitution means), each and every citizen is entitled to assistance from the federal government for their "General Welfare". General Welfare are those in need of food, water, shelter and medical. I would charge those Supreme Court judges with U.S. Code-Violation of Oath of office and remove them from their position immediately, since they took an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution. Do nothing, and it risks the rights of all citizens. Native Americans are U.S. Citizens. No one is above the laws of our land! Nobody! Congress is responsible for each and every citizen's "General Welfare"-before passing votes lobbyists bring to them. Another thing, how many counties in states do not even provide trash pickup? We all pay high property taxes and trash should be included where the county owns the roads with homeowners. Like in PA, homeowners are required to pay for their trash removal, in most places. MD does pick up all the trash, that I know of. Including yard cuttings as long as their in short bundles tied up. MD also has free bulk pickup for large furniture, etc. MD also picks up your leaves. It's unfair to provide free trash pickup for some communities and not others...:-(
How can any American abide by the laws that this institution helps create when they flaunt the law on a daily basis? They need to clean their own house as soon as possible
I mean, did the federal government help to address their need for clean water? If they didn't, then why not? Otherwise i'm sure private equity would probably be willing to step in and help, but that would likely come with its own issues Also a 155 year old law? really? What about all the other 100+ year old laws out there that don't make sense?
Alert on this issue. How could the court take the Natives water and give it to Saudi. Dine are the people of USA. The name actually means the people. Dine.
If you cannot see that what is legal isn't always what is moral, then you are not only blind, but you lack any semblance of basic human empathy. People with no empathy are usually a danger to others, and should be sequestered from society.
@@spiffymongo4030 you need to take your fight up with the Supreme Court, the word abortion is in the constitution there for is is a right. Like I said before Navaho isn’t in the constitution you need to keep up.
The little bit of hope for this case comes from Neil Gorsuch's impassioned dissent (seriously, it's worth a read). For the number of times he's leaned conservative, he leans towards tribal rights surprisingly consistently. It's not much hope for the Navajo, sadly, but it's something.
The Supreme Court’s role is to uphold the Constitution and interpret preexisting law, which they did here. Have a problem with the law? Write your local Congressman and encourage them to legislate new laws, if you can get them to stop hyperventilating about Trump for 15 minutes.
This is breathtaking news with the understanding that the Supreme Court would uphold the law rather than the interest of a small minority of people. The court stated that an age all the law is very specific with this regard, and the federal government has no responsibility to go against the law. This does not mean that the American Indians cannot use their own resources to obtain water. Water can be obtained from underground springs and underground reservoirs. Water can be game from the atmosphere. This would be up to the American Indian tribe to take the initiative rather than the federal government according to the law.
Have you ever been to the Navajo Nation? There is not a lot of water there. The four corners is a beautiful desert. The average well is drilled down to over 10000 feet.But you stick with the bootstraps model for denying people basic life giving necessities.
@@anghusmorgenholz1060. I have been to that area and you are absolutely correct. It is overwhelmingly, beautiful and very sparse. You are limiting your water resources, however. There is nothing to prevent your stride from trucking in transports of water to underground to cisterns. And are also companies who provide bottled water. Water is one of the most plentiful resources on earth. The earth is primarily covered with water. Water is readily available and we just need to know how to make the best use of it. Thanks for your post however, I would urge that you attempt to broaden your outlook and expand your thinking, but nevertheless, stay safe and stay healthy.
@@t.r.campbell6585 my entire state rests on top of two giant aquifers. Unfortunately in the four corners that one is deep, deep underground. You have the normal ground then you have the Mogollon plateau. That adds up to 5000 feet. I understand that there is water everywhere. But I live in a desert. If you look at a population map of this area you can see that we all live in the Rio Grande valley. There are some who don't, like the Nation. They are at the edge of the aquifer. The cost to drill below 2000 feet is insane. They are not a wealthy tribe.

It's unfair to provide free trash pickup for some communities and not others...:-(
They need to look more into Kavanagh's decision.
How can any American abide by the laws that this institution helps create when they flaunt the law on a daily basis? They need to clean their own house as soon as possible
There is literally zero mention of water or water rights in the original legislation.
Just give em beer on tap at the Scotus! Kavanagh will LOVE that! 😆
Doesn't Pocahontas drink beer, too? What an asinine attempt at a joke.
Doesn't HAVE to provide access!!! Well the USA should do the right thing IMO. Very disgraceful!!!
Maybe "Water for Life" can help them?
Does it matter to anyone? Don't the Native Americans deserve clean drinking water? Haven't they suffered enough?
This country did belong to the native American people.
And they should be allowed to this country more then we should.
Yeah people act like it would cost 250Billion dollars to help them. Always amazes me how much money we can throw
250 billion could turn each of the reservations into mini Saudi Arabia’s 😂😂😂
They don’t want to help with the sewer system either I guess the poop will just go down stream
Last week: MSNBC - We love the Supreme Court. This week 😡 Look, the courts were not designed to make everyone happy all the time.
You really thnik that professional and experienced journalists put the words of a preschooler in their mouth?
Pretty sure they have never loved the supreme court. They might have agreed with a recent decision but love them, no you are being disingenuous.
Does this NAVAJO water access relate to LAS VEGAS??? WHY NOT TELL IT LIKE IT IS??
Heart breaking
I mean, did the federal government help to address their need for clean water? If they didn't, then why not? Otherwise i'm sure private equity would probably be willing to step in and help, but that would likely come with its own issues
Also a 155 year old law? really? What about all the other 100+ year old laws out there that don't make sense?
Treaty not law ,..but white people don't understand that
Give them water give them water it takes water to have proper septic tanks
Our Tribes need our voices heard at the capital... Protest at the PHX capital. Our Tribes need to reunite .. it's our land...
Weren’t they on yesterday talking about how much of a champion for native rights GorSUCK is supposed to be?
Alert on this issue. How could the court take the Natives water and give it to Saudi. Dine are the people of USA. The name actually means the people. Dine.
The word water or Navajo is not in the constitution. What is the problem.
If you cannot see that what is legal isn't always what is moral, then you are not only blind, but you lack any semblance of basic human empathy.
People with no empathy are usually a danger to others, and should be sequestered from society.
@@spiffymongo4030 you need to take your fight up with the Supreme Court, the word abortion is in the constitution there for is is a right. Like I said before Navaho isn’t in the constitution you need to keep up.
How can a USA court decide a case between to nations? They don't have jurisdiction.
Do they want another standing rock ????
It's not up to them to rewrite a 155 year Law 🤔 , if it would help trump kava not would think differently
The little bit of hope for this case comes from Neil Gorsuch's impassioned dissent (seriously, it's worth a read). For the number of times he's leaned conservative, he leans towards tribal rights surprisingly consistently. It's not much hope for the Navajo, sadly, but it's something.
MAKES ME MAD . ITS THE LAND THAT BELONGS TO THEM. WHAT.
CAN'T YOU LEAVE THEM ALONE.
LIERS LI😊😮I U
grrrr
Total BS
There is no “right to water.” Water was around at the time the US constitution was ratified so it’s not like it wasn’t able to be considered.
@ArtemisBeneGesseritThere are zero in the constitution or the bill of rights.

Is that all the information available in a video almost 2 minutes long? It could have taken 5 seconds...
Guess who was litigating AGAINST the Navajo. Why that would be the BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. 😂😂😂😂
Crap
Katie Porter can't wipe herself
Have you boofed yet, Donnie?
Liberals are So confused by the Supreme Court overall 😂
Disgust is not confusion. You should know the difference by now.
@@Naturalworldlives Liberals only disgusted with a ruling doesn’t go their way. Honestly that’s not just liberals, it’s most people.
The Indians lost the war….
So did the South...
So did the South and they are entitled to water.
@@suzanne9150Where is that written?
@@didmooretheundone2299 the union also hated Black people
And in your mind you're a winner?
The Supreme Court’s role is to uphold the Constitution and interpret preexisting law, which they did here. Have a problem with the law? Write your local Congressman and encourage them to legislate new laws, if you can get them to stop hyperventilating about Trump for 15 minutes.
God bless Trump’s Supreme Court 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Corruption!
This is breathtaking news with the understanding that the Supreme Court would uphold the law rather than the interest of a small minority of people. The court stated that an age all the law is very specific with this regard, and the federal government has no responsibility to go against the law. This does not mean that the American Indians cannot use their own resources to obtain water. Water can be obtained from underground springs and underground reservoirs. Water can be game from the atmosphere. This would be up to the American Indian tribe to take the initiative rather than the federal government according to the law.
Have you ever been to the Navajo Nation? There is not a lot of water there. The four corners is a beautiful desert. The average well is drilled down to over 10000 feet.But you stick with the bootstraps model for denying people basic life giving necessities.
@@anghusmorgenholz1060. I have been to that area and you are absolutely correct. It is overwhelmingly, beautiful and very sparse. You are limiting your water resources, however. There is nothing to prevent your stride from trucking in transports of water to underground to cisterns. And are also companies who provide bottled water. Water is one of the most plentiful resources on earth. The earth is primarily covered with water. Water is readily available and we just need to know how to make the best use of it. Thanks for your post however, I would urge that you attempt to broaden your outlook and expand your thinking, but nevertheless, stay safe and stay healthy.
@@t.r.campbell6585 my entire state rests on top of two giant aquifers. Unfortunately in the four corners that one is deep, deep underground. You have the normal ground then you have the Mogollon plateau. That adds up to 5000 feet. I understand that there is water everywhere. But I live in a desert. If you look at a population map of this area you can see that we all live in the Rio Grande valley. There are some who don't, like the Nation. They are at the edge of the aquifer. The cost to drill below 2000 feet is insane. They are not a wealthy tribe.
@@t.r.campbell6585 I have been studying the water capture techniques used in the Sahara and the Gobi I'm particularly impressed with the water screens I guess you can call them. Large frames with some type of microfiber filaments. A variant of the electronic cleaning cloths. Except these are formed out of a type of rubber.
why give them water when you have been trying to exterminate these people for centuries.
Navajo tribe do not have the intelligence to filter out and clean the water !
Navajos don’t fear repos lol now them Niccas got no water bruh savages
