The council for the
Hopi Tribe of Arizona voted for second time on a water rights settlement.
By an 8-7 vote, the council agreed to work with Congress on a settlement to its claims on the Little Colorado River in Arizona.
Chairman LeRoy Shingoitewa, who supports a settlement, cast the tie-breaking vote.
Just last week, the council voted 11-4 to oppose
S.2109,
the Navajo-Hopi Little Colorado River Water Rights Settlement Act.
