48% of tribal homes do not have access to reliable water sources, clean drinking water, or basic sanitation, and Native households are 19 times more likely than white households to lack indoor plumbing, according to the Tribal Clean Water Initiative.

More than 150 years after the country’s largest tribe signed treaties recognizing its sovereignty, almost a third of the over 170,000 people who live on the Navajo reservation do not have access to reliable drinking water, according to the tribe.

Against a backdrop of record-breaking heat and floods this year, the $22m endeavor, Project 2025, was convened by the notorious rightwing, climate-denying thinktank the Heritage Foundation, which has ties to fossil fuel billionaire Charles Koch.
