"Indian water rights are inextricably linked to questions of law, history and jurisdiction which are particularly unique to the relationship between Indian tribes and the federal and state governments of the United States. To understand the controversy surrounding Indian water rights, one must initially comprehend the legal, historical and jurisdictional factors which bear so significantly upon it. Therefore, this paper will describe these factors as well as discussing several of the most current issues or conflicts in the field of Indian water rights."--Introduction.
