For the past 20 years, Henry Wilson has been forced to travel several miles, multiple times a day, to get water for his family in Monument Valley, Utah.
Eloise Wilson, a grandmother of 10 uses water hauled by her husband Henry to prepare breakfast for her family, in Monument Valley, Utah.
The Navajo Nation reservation is the nation's largest, spanning 16 million acres across Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. But what's considered sacred in the Navajo culture is also scarce. One in three households do not have access to running water, according the the Navajo Nation Department of water resources.
"We have to keep the water coming in the tank every day for us to shower, for us to get ready for work. You know, you always think that those people that have running water are really lucky," Eloise Wilson said. "We try to just use 5 gallons, a bucket a day, but sometimes that's not enough. You need more and more," she said.
The Supreme Court will soon decide whether to allow the Navajo Nation to sue the federal government for help expanding their reservation's access to water at a time when the precious resource has been in tight supply across the drying American West. While federal money has been funneled to tribal communities, indigenous-led nonprofits like Dig Deep have stepped in to bridge the gap.
