A case against the CSKT compact

Has it occurred to you that the CSKT Reservation has already received its federal reserved water with the construction of the Flathead Irrigation Project?  Water is very plentiful because the federal reclamation project plan was to irrigate “all of the practicably irrigable acreage” estimated to be between 130,000 and 150,000 acres.  This is consistent with the Hell Gate Treaty which emphasized agriculture and the federal reserved water rights which require quantification (justification) of the water which is to make the reservation productive.  The other 6 tribal reservations in Montana were approved because they went through the process of identifying the purposes of the water, stating the amount, place of use, etc.  The water was available and fit the purposes of the reservations.  Since the CSKT Reservation has adequate water their emphasis is to control water both on and off their Reservation and lease most of the water they get from the Compact to others.
