Kickapoo Ask Governor to Intervene in Water Dispute
( KNZA )-The chairman of the Kickapoo Indian Tribe is asking Governor Sam Brownback for “ direct intervention” in its long-running fight with the Nemaha-Brown Watershed Board for a reservoir.
Steve Cadue was in Topeka Friday to receive a proclamation honoring the state’s tribes by naming November “ National American Indian Heritage Month.”
The Topeka Capital Journal reports Cadue also handed out a letter addressed to Brownback asking for help in the water dispute that has caused years of federal litigation.
Cadue says Brownback is “ well aware of the issue” because he discussed it with him throughout the governor’s tenure as a U.S. Senator.
He says at that time, Brownback said it was a state issue and they should try to work it out between the tribe and the state of Kansas.
Now that Brownback is Governor, Cadue says “he can provide the solution.”
