Inter-Tribal Council of California – Tribal Water Commission
The ITCC Water Commission provides a Tribal forum for California Tribes (both federally and non-federally recognized) and Tribal People residing in California to have a voice in water planning, protection of our sacred water, and advocating the public about Tribal water rights and water stewardship.
ITCC is actively participating in the State of California Water Planning Strategies. For more information about this effort, visit the CA Department of Water Resources Tribal web site at: http://www.waterplan.water.ca.gov/tribal2
