Three leaders made history Friday morning in southeastern Utah with the Utah Navajo Water Rights Settlement Act.
Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, Utah Governor Spencer Cox and Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez signed an agreement 20 years in the making.

And here's how we're going to get water to the homes of the Navajo citizens,'" Romney said."That cost $220 million."
