The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes Fight for Quantified Federal Water Rights in Montana: A Contentious History
This year the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) hoped it would finally quantify its federal water rights after decades of legal and political battles. Unfortunately, in April 2013 Republicans in the Montana State Legislature blocked several bills that would have ratified the Water Rights Compact. The CSKT, the federal government, and the state of Montana were on the precipice of entering into a Water Rights Compact that would quantify the CSKT's right to waters on and off the Flathead Reservation in Montana. As a result, the CSRT, the state of Montana, local landowners, and the federal government have years of costly litigation ahead of them.
