This bill proposed that the Navajo and Hopi Nations would waive rights to the Little Colorado River in exchange for the Bureau of Reclamation piping clean drinking water into tribal homes. Such strong reactions were in response to Senate bill S.2109, also known as the Navajo-Hopi Little Colorado River Water Rights Settlement Act of 2012. Diné people raised this cry outside tribal offices in Window Rock, Arizona, and literally chased Senator John McCain, seated inside a moving black suburban, off their land to protect their hold on the Little Colorado River water.
