Oka Holisso: Chickasaw and Choctaw Water Resource Planning Guide

More about the book

Over the centuries, the Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations have nurtured an inherent relationship with their waters and waterways. Whether in their Southeastern Homelands, or in Indian Territory following their Removal, both nations have proven themselves to be diligent stewards and defenders of water and water quality. That stewardship has affected water policy beyond the borders of their nations. As an important step forward in that stewardship, the Chickasaw Nation and Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma have collaborated to produce Oka Holisso, a comprehensive and current guide detailing the policies, agreements, research and analysis that continue during these crucial, ecological times, monitoring water policy and conditions within the boundaries of the Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations.
