And is it fair to expect them to? But still -- through the grapevine I'm getting good news of principled stands by several of Michigan's tribes against flaws in the proposed Great Lakes water pacts. Here is the basic position several of them are taking:
We will support no out-of-basin diversion;
Diversion must be for a "public purpose";
Water cannot be commoditized;
Control of water must remain at the state level;
Withdrawals must be regulated according to home watershed, user needs,
and with stakeholder input.

Sounds like a platform Great Lakes advocates can endorse.
