This grant builds on a previous Community Innovation Grant for the Mni Wizipan Wakan (Water Bundles) Project. This work aims to manage and protect water rights on the Ihanktonwan (Yankton) Reservation by creating a political, scientific and legal basis for tribal-federal government co-management of the landscape and hydroscape of the Missouri River Cultural Basin that passes through tribal lands. This grant supports developing and testing an idea that has the potential to transform the way tribes manage water.
