Pechanga Tribe Attempting to STEAL Water Rights From Temecula Indian Allottees of The Reservation

We wrote three years ago about Pechanga losing it's opportunity to get their water bill passed because of their lies to Congress about how many allottees were affected.  There are over 175 Temecula Indians who have claim to allotted lands on the Pechanga Indian Reservation.   

We have rights to any water that comes to reservation land.  With this latest attempt, Pechanga is looking to redefine what an allottee is.  Here is a letter that can be sent to the Senate Indian Affairs Committee.

Send an email with this letter to comments@indian.senate.gov with the option to fax the majority fax (202) 228-2589 and the Minority (202) 224-5429
