Hoopa Tribe strikes at interiors coveted Westlands Water District corporate deal
March 31, 2020
HOOPA, Calif. — The Hoopa Valley Tribe applauded Fresno County Superior Court's refusal to validate a proposed contract between Westlands Water District and the Bureau of Reclamation.
According to Hoopa Valley Tribe Vice Chairman Oscar Billings, the contract would have allocated up to 1,150,000 acre-feet of Northern California water annually to Westlands, most of which would be imported from the Trinity River, which has sustained the Hupa people since time immemorial.
