Join us as we explore water issues on the Wind River Reservation!
Our in-person morning tour of water infrastructure will be led by the Acting Tribal
Water Engineer. Our afternoon panels, in turn, will provide (1) a historical perspective
on the water infrastructure and the Big Horn adjudication addressing the tribes' reserved
water right, plus (2) a forward-looking perspective on key future priorities for the
water infrastructure and water right. A closing keynote will end the day with a national
perspective on similar water issues facing tribal nations across Indian Country. This
event is free and open to the public, and community meals (breakfast and lunch) will
be provided.

The Gina Guy Keynote on Government Service is an annual event that honors legal professionals who have devoted significant portions of their careers to public service. This series serves as an inspiration to young attorneys, showcasing the vital role of lawyers in government and emphasizing the importance of legal expertise in shaping policy, upholding justice, and serving diverse communities.
Rebecca Watson, a close friend of Gina Guy, was instrumental in establishing this keynote series. Launched in 2022 as part of the annual Landscape Conference on Energy Law and Policy, the keynote has become a cornerstone of the conference, providing a platform to celebrate public service and highlight the impact of dedicated legal professionals in government roles.
We invite you to explore the insights and contributions of past keynote speakers:
