Kickapoo seek fed help for Plum Creek Reservoir land
The Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas plans to ask the federal government to use treaty rights to acquire land for the Plum Creek Reservoir near their Topeka area property. After a seven year dispute a federal court ruled the tribe cannot compel eminent domain by Nemaha Brown Watershed District No. 7. The tribal leaders met with Gov. Brownback to press for federal action to secure land and include tribal water needs in the Kansas Water Plan.
