Seminole Nation of Oklahoma's Tribal Culture Impact On Water Policy.

Abstract

This research explores the degree to which the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma incorporates cultural values when making water policy. I hypothesize that the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma considers cultural values when making water policy. To test my hypothesis, I will rely on qualitative methodology and interview tribal officials, elders, and leaders. This research is important because it will help demonstrate how tribal water policy making occurs in the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma.
