The Headwaters Report is a product of NARF’s Tribal Water Institute (TWI), a project launched in early 2024 to increase the capacity of NARF and Tribal Nations to engage in water law issues and water policy reform. Every Tribal Nation should have free access to information necessary to advocate for and protect its water resources. Through The Headwaters Report, we intend to provide that to Indian Country.
The Headwaters Report presents accessible information on foundational Tribal water law concepts and practices as well as current and emerging water-related issues. The Report presents several information themes:
- Topical Articles: monthly articles, interviews, or other materials on water issues important to Tribal Nations;
- Current Law and Policy: relevant federal and state court cases, legislative activities, agency programs, and funding opportunities; and
- General Tribal Water Law: informational slide decks on the basics of Tribal water issues, and a resource page with public articles and books, many accessible for free through the National Indian Law Library.
