In keeping with the breaking of historical treaties between the US and the Indigenousness peoples of the Americas, the Supreme court has ruled that Native Americans “have no rights the white man have to respect.”

In a recent article, the “Supreme Court rules against Navajo Nation in Colorado River water rights case,” confirms the US still has no regard for the rights of the people’s land they have taken by force and corrupt business practices, not even for the purpose of helping to supply clean water to the reservations that are supposedly legally afforded to them.

“The facts of the case go back to treaties that the tribe and the federal government signed in 1849 and 1868. The second treaty established the reservation as the tribe’s “permanent home” — a promise the Navajo Nation says includes a sufficient supply of water. In 2003 the tribe sued the federal government, arguing it had failed to consider or protect the Navajo Nation’s water rights to the lower portion of the Colorado River.

Writing for a majority made up of conservative justices, Justice Brett Kavanaugh explained that “the Navajos contend that the treaty requires the United States to take affirmative steps to secure water for the Navajos — for example, by assessing the Tribe’s water needs, developing a plan to secure the needed water, and potentially building pipelines, pumps, wells, or other water infrastructure.”

But, Kavanaugh said, “In light of the treaty’s text and history, we conclude that the treaty does not require the United States to take those affirmative steps.”
