NARF and the WSWC will cosponsor a symposium on the settlement of Indian reserved water rights claims on August 24-25, 2021. A number of topics will be addressed by experts and participants regarding completed and ongoing negotiated settlements.
Due to COVID19 travel restrictions and concerns, the symposium will be hosted virtually. Our abbreviated agenda will include presenters who have been involved in negotiated settlements representing tribal, state, local, and federal governments, interest groups, congressional staff, and others.
Continuing Legal Education Credits in Colorado and Utah will be available for lawyers who attend.
(Materials from past conferences are available on the National Indian Law Library website.)
