A Navajo Nation committee voted 11-2 to start water rights negotiations with the state of Utah, The Farmington Daily Times reported.

Critics questioned why talks should begin since the tribe doesn't have a position on water rights in the Upper Colorado Basin. Grassroots organizations have called on the tribe to file a lawsuit.

Separately, the tribe is seeking to obtain a share of the Colorado River.
