INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ RIGHTS AND TRIBAL SOVEREIGNTY

• Recognize tribal villages and districts for voter registration, ballot and nominating petitions.

• Protect tribal land mining and environmental rights. Protect sacred sites on and off tribal

lands.

• Guarantee water rights, including the Central AZ Project and the Equitable AZ Drought

Contingency Plan; recognize tribal nations’ rights to their own water as well as their right to

protect, manage and conserve water for their own well-being.

• Repair relationships with tribes by honoring all treaties. Treat tribal units as governments in

transactions with local, state and the federal government.
