The Mni Sose Intertribal Water Rights Coalition assists Tribes in the protection of their rights to the use of Missouri River water, tributaries, and groundwater located on, near, and under their respective reservations. The Coalition also addresses all issues and matters related to their reserved water rights in a broad and comprehensive manner.
In order to accomplish this, Mni Sose promotes:
- Tribal inclusion into the Army Corps of engineers' Master Manual Review Process.
- Equitable participation in the benefits of the Missouri River Basin Pick-Sloan program.
- Equitable distribution of hydropower benefits derived from the utilization of tribal water resources.
- The establishment of a Secretarial advocate who will protect a quantity of water in the Missouri River main stem, its tributaries, and its aquifers for future use by the Tribes of the Missouri River Basin.
- The lifting of the Secretary of the Interior's moratorium on the approval of certain tribal water codes.
- The development of a national Indian water policy, in close consultation with Tribes.
