Damming the Gila
2024
Overview
Unraveling a complex web of tension, distrust, and political
maneuvering, Damming the Gila continues the story of the
Gila River Indian Community's struggle for the restoration of its
water rights. This volume continues to chronicle the history of
water rights and activities on the Gila River Indian Reservation.
Centered on the San Carlos Irrigation Project and Coolidge Dam, it
details the history and development of the project, including the
Gila Decree and the Winters Doctrine. Embedded in the narrative is
the underlying tension between tribal growers on the Gila River
Indian Reservation and upstream users. Told in seven chapters, the
story underscores the idea that the Gila River Indian Community
believed the San Carlos Irrigation Project was first and foremost
for their benefit and how the project and the Gila Decree fell
short of restoring their water and agricultural economy.
Damming the Gila is the third in a trio of important
documentary works, beginning with DeJong's Stealing the
Gila and followed by Diverting the Gila. It continues
the story of the Gila River Indian Community's fight to regain
access to their water.
