Tribal Water Policy in Oklahoma with Emphasis On Cultural Ways.

Abstract

Research question: Water policy between the native tribes of Oklahoma and state regulations? H1: The Choctaw tribe will seek rights to water in order to protect their cultural rights with water. This paper examines how they will incorporate their cultural views and ways into water policies. I will focus on the Choctaw tribe of Oklahoma and their culture with water. I will be doing this by visiting tribe council members along with other members of the tribe. Doing extensive research on the water policies from court cases and documents will also be a big guide in my water policy project poster and paper.
