	Water accords joyous to tribe
		Gila River Gov. Richard Narcia said the Arizona Water Settlements Act of 2004 was the "culmination of decades of struggle to reclaim a way of life."
		The community's main tribe calls itself the Akimel O'odham, or river people, because for centuries they farmed and irrigated along the Gila River, which ran about two miles south of what is now Ahwatukee Foothills.
		They began losing the Gila River about 100 years ago when upstream settlers and later dams reduced it to a trickle, and they've been trying every since then to increase their water rights and farming.

	Linneen v. Gila River Indian Community
		The district court dismissed the complaint as to the Gila River Indian Community, and as to Mary Thomas, Governor of the Community, and Ralph Andrews, Gila River Tribal Ranger, in their official capacities, based on tribal sovereign immunity.
		Because the Linneens' suit against the Community and against Thomas and Andrews in their official capacities is a suit against the tribe, it is barred by tribal sovereign immunity unless that immunity has been abrogated or waived.
		The Indian Reorganization Act, 25 U.S.C. § 476, authorizes Indian tribes to organize as a constitutional entity, and § 477 of the Act authorizes organization of a corporate entity.
