Second, we will strengthen and retain the work of community members who are putting theory into practice, and assist the work of water catchments that reform land practices toward sustainable agriculture and increased water rights. Finally, we will leverage our work to influence tribal lawmakers to initiate wide scale reform to land management and water use in the Navajo Nation.
