The original and extremely divisive Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes Water Compact, Senate Bill 262, and U.S. Sen. Jon Tester’s inflated S.B. 3013, were all contingent upon illegally appropriating our private and state waters rights and transferring said rights to the federal government on behalf of the tribe. This would clearly violate established law and the Montana Constitution, no matter how you look at it.
