Northeastern Arizona Indian Water Rights Settlement Act of 2025

This bill settles water rights disputes in Arizona involving the Navajo Nation, the Hopi Tribe, and the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe. It officially approves a water rights agreement between the tribes, the U.S. government, Arizona, and others, and it spells out how much water from the Colorado River and Little Colorado River each tribe gets. The bill also provides money to build a water pipeline to deliver water to the tribes and creates three trust funds — one for each tribe. Additionally, it sets aside about 5,400 acres of land in Arizona and Utah as a reservation for the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe.
