"A comprehensive introduction to an important problem in
environmental and social justice--and also an excellent case study
of the law's systemic failure to fulfill its promises when
ecological and moral values are at stake."--Journal of American
History"A cogent, tightly written work. It is timely. It is
understandable. And it is foreboding."--Great Plains
Quarterly"Burton provides a thoughtful framework for discussion . .
. as well as novel and innovative proposals."--Pacific Historical
Review"Should be required reading for anyone interested in western
water resources management."--Forest and Conservation History"A
very important contribution to the literature on contemporary
Native American affairs."--Choice
"This book is a significant contribution to the field for three
reasons. It provides a well-written and accessible review of the
historical evolution of Indian water rights disputes. It includes a
cogent and penetrating analysis of that history and its
significance for managing current disputes. And it concludes with a
suggestion which is creative and novel, if potentially difficult to
implement. This is an important book . . ."--William Lord, director
of the Water Resources Research Center at the University of
Arizona"No other book brings together so sharply the tribes, the
federal executive and Congress, the courts, and the states. . . .
An original and much-needed work."--John G. Clark, author of Energy
and the Federal Government: Fossil Fuel Policies, 1900-1946
