Today, the Navajo Nation has no guaranteed right to use the water that flows in and around their reservation. In this season of "Reclaimed: The Lifeblood of Navajo Nation," journalist Charly Edsitty follows the history of oppression and exclusion that kept the Navajo from their water -- and traces the fight to reclaim their sovereignty. Now, the Navajo people are demanding their water back, and they’re closer than ever to securing this basic human right. Last season, “Reclaimed: The Forgotten League” told the stories of professional baseball’s often-overlooked greats and how newly acknowledged Negro Leagues statistics could rewrite history books. Earlier seasons included “The Story of Mamie Till-Mobley,” recognized with the Edward R. Murrow Award for Best Podcast, and “Tulsa’s Buried Truth,” on the search for mass graves beneath Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the fight for justice for the descendants of the Black Americans killed in the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.

Water rights

I spend almost 2 weeks on the Reservation within the past 8 years. I was on a guided horse ride so I had sometime to talk to locals. Also there was people that had been on the reservation many time so I got a to learn about living there. I think this podcast is done with an unbiased view. I don’t think the people should give up anything and the government shouldn’t ask for anything. It’s a lot of money to get the water but that’s what’s right. We give to people that aren’t residents of the us, but can’t make things better for people who need it. I bet the cost is way less then what the government has already spend not helping. Keep up the good work and thanks for putting this out there
Congratulations

After listening to this a year ago, MLB finally corrected the flaws this podcast brought up and inserting all Negro League stats. This was an amazing piece of writing and reporting on a major flaw that has been corrected. I hope you feel great knowing your efforts paid off.
