It's November 24th. This day in 1922, seven Western States enter into the Colorado River Compact, which splits up access to the water supply from the major river -- but cuts out access to indigenous tribes.

Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by reporter Charly Edsitty to discuss how the compact came together, how it fueled the expansion of the Southwest, and how Navajo tribes have been fighting to restore access ever since.

Charly is the host of the new series from ABC News called "Reclaimed: The Lifeblood Of Navajo Nation" -- find it now wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!
