and disappointed,” said Hoopa Valley Tribe Chairwoman
Danielle Vigil-Masten, “that the so-called ‘Klamath Basin
Water Recovery and Economic Restoration Act of 2014’
introduced by Senators: Feinstein, Boxer, Merkley, and
Wyden <strong>would effectively terminate water and
fishing rights of our tribe.</strong>”</font></div>
</blockquote>
<div>Colleagues....</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I find the above statement puzzling as to how the Hoopa
Tribe could possibly come to this conclusion above. In fact,
there is specific language in the new bill that makes such
impacts patently impossible. Reading Sec. 3(g) of S. 2376
(The Klamath Basin Water Recovery and Economic Restoration Act
of 2014) it clearly says:</div>
<div> </div>
<div> "Sec. 3(g) TRIBAL RIGHS PROTECTED. -- Nothing in this Act
or the Settlements --</div>
<div> </div>
<div> (1) affects the rights or any Indian tribe outside the
Klamath Basin; or</div>
<div> </div>
<div> (2) amends, alters, or limits the authority of the
Indian tribes of the Klamath Basin to exercise any water right
the Indian tribes hold or may be determined to hold except <strong>as
expressly provided in the Agreements."</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div>AND ALSO:</div>
<div> </div>
<div> "Sec. 5(h)(2) & (3) EFFECT OF SECTION. -- Nothing
in this section --</div>
<div> </div>
<div> (2) affects the treaty fishing, hunting, trapping,
pasturing, or gathering right of any Indian tribe <strong>except
to the extent expressly provided in this Act or the
Agreements</strong>; or</div>
<div> </div>
<div> (3) affects any right, remedy, privilege, immunity,
power, or claim not <strong>specifically relinquished and
released under, or limited by, this Act or the Agreements."</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div>As the Hoopa Valley Tribe is not now, <u>and has never
been</u>, a Party-signatory to any of the Klamath Settlement
Agreements, the savings clause of Sec. 3(g) makes it clear in
the statutory language itself that this Act would <u>in no
way whatsoever</u> impact any water rights the Hoopa Valley
Tribe now has or may in the future be determined to have. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>And as the Tribal water Settlement provisions of the Act
include ONLY the "Party Tribes" who have actually signed the
Settlement Agreements, and do not include even mention of the
Hoopa Valley Tribe, one can only conclude that nothing in this
Act would apply to the Hoopa Tribe in any way, nor limit
either water or fishing rights of the Hoopa Valley Tribe in
any way. In fact just the opposite -- as the two limiting
disclaimers cited above make it clear. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>S. 2376 should be available shortly in full text from the
Library of Congress' Congressional Web site THOMAS, both by
bill number and key word, at: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://thomas.loc.gov/">http://thomas.loc.gov/</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div align="center">*****</div>
<div> </div>
<div>While it is true that the Klamath Tribal water settlements,
which are strictly between the federal government and three
other Klamath Basin Tribes (theYurok, the Karuk and the
Klamath Tribes of Oregon) who <u>are</u> Parties to the
Agreements, means that the Hoopa Valley Tribe cannot later
force the US to sue to overturn its own federal settlement
agreements with those other Tribes, <u>this is precise the
case already</u>. The US cannot be forced by one Tribe (for
which it is Trustee) to sue any other Tribe (for which it also
serves as Trustee) -- this would be a direct conflict of
interest that would violate the federal Trustee relationship,
several federal laws and the Cannons of Ethics that lawyers
must abide by. Doing so would mean the federal government
would be, in essence, suing itself! </div>
<div> </div>
<div>And likewise, since the Bureau of Reclamation and other
federal agencies are Parties to the Agreements, nor can the
Hoopa Tribe force the US (as Trustee) to, once again, <u>sue
itself</u> to overturn its own agreements with its own
federal agencies. Again, this would be a direct conflict of
interest that is not allowed under the current law.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But this is precisely the same situation the Hoopa Tribe
would be in whenever it tried to sue any federal agency of its
own Trustee, i.e., the federal government. All it means is
that in order to do so -- i.e., to exercise any of its water
or fishing rights against the feds in Federal Court -- it
would simply have to hire its own private attorney's rather
than be represented by the U.S. Attorney's Office or Solicitor
General.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There are many examples of that happening in the past. A
recent example in the Klamath Basin is the case <em>Pacific
Coast Federation of Fishermen's Associations, et al. vs.
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation</em> (2000) (Civ. No. C00-1955
SBA), when we sued BOR over lack of a legal BiOp for the
Klamath Irrigation Project. The Hoopa Valley Tribe and the
Yurok Tribe both intervened in that case <u>against</u> the
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to defend their inherent water and
fisheries rights -- the only difference between that and any
other lawsuit is that, since they were suing their own US
Trustee, they had to have their own independent legal
counsel. <em>They could not force their Trustee to, in
essence, sue itself.</em> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>But that restriction remains in place whether or not there
is (or is not) a Klamath Settlement and whether or not the
Klamath Act is ultimately signed into law. The Klamath Act
does not affect that legal limitation on what a Tribe can ask
its federal Trustee to do in any way.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hence the Hoopa Valley Tribe's statement that the Klamath
Act of 2014 "would effectively terminate water and fishing
rights of our tribe" simply cannot be true. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>It may be an inconvenience to the Hoopa Tribe to have to
hire its own independent legal Counsel rather than have access
to free legal services of the US government, but that minor
inconvenience in no way affects, amends or negates whatever
underlying legal water or fishing rights the Hoopa Tribe might
in fact have in Court. </div>
