The San Xavier Allottee Association, Inc. (SXAA) joins communities across Arizona in mourning the passing of Senator Jon Kyl. We remember his years of public service and his lasting contribution to the work of resolving Arizona's complex water issues.
For the San Xavier allottee community, his leadership in advancing the Arizona Water Settlements Act of 2004 holds particular significance. That legislation included major amendments to the Southern Arizona Water Rights Settlement Act (SAWRSA), addressing water deliveries, irrigation obligations, settlement funding, and water claims involving the Tohono O'odham Nation and San Xavier allottees. His efforts helped bring years of negotiation into federal law.
Water sustains our farms, our families, and our connection to ancestral lands. It is essential to the opportunities we work to preserve for future generations. We recognize Senator Kyl's contribution to this continuing work and the patience, persistence, and cooperation required to move a complex settlement forward.
On behalf of the SXAA Board of Directors, staff, and allottee community, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the Kyl Family, his loved ones, and all who served alongside him. May they find comfort in the lives he touched and the contributions he made through public service.
With respect and gratitude, we remember Senator Jon Kyl.
