MONDAY, JANUARY 7, 2002 Native Women for Justice is hosting a public meeting on January 19 to discuss a proposed water compact between the state of Oklahoma and two tribes. The compact settles the water rights of the Chickasaw Nation and the Choctaw Nation. It also involves selling water to the state of Texas. Saying it has received numerous questions from tribal members about the deal, Native Women for Justice, a non-profit group, has asked tribal leaders to the meeting to provide more information. Choctaw Nation Chief Greg Pyle, Choctaw Nation Assistant Chief Mike Bailey, and Chickasaw Nation Gov. Bill Anoatubby have been asked to attend, said the group. For those who can't attend the meeting but wish to submit questions, they can be sent to Mrs. Lee Parrish at 610 South K Street, Hugo, Oklahoma, 74743, or emailed to ohoyo@swbell.net The compact has to be approved by the Oklahoma Legislature to be finalized.
