文章:

    In Winters v. United States (1908), the Supreme Court held that the right to use waters flowing through or adjacent to the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation was reserved to American Indians by the treaty establishing the reservation. Although this treaty did not mention water rights, the Court ruled that the federal government, when it created thereservation, intended to deal fairly with American Indians by preserving for them the waters without which their lands would have been useless. Later decisions, citing Winters, established that courts can find federal rights to reserve water for particular purposes if (1) the land in question lies within an enclave under exclusive federal jurisdiction, (2) the land has been formally withdrawn from federal public lands — i.e., withdrawn from the stock of federal lands available for private use under federal land use laws — and set aside or reserved, and (3) the circumstances reveal the government intended to reserve water as well as land when establishing the reservation.

    Some American Indian tribes have also established water rights through the courts based on their traditional diversion and use of certain waters prior to the United States' acquisition of sovereignty. For example, the Rio Grande pueblos already existed when the United States acquired sovereignty over New Mexico in 1848. Although they at that time became part of the United States, the pueblo lands never formally constituted a part of federal public lands; in any event, no treaty, statute, or executive order has ever designated or withdrawn the pueblos from public lands as American Indian reservations. This fact, however, has not barred application of the Winters doctrine. What constitutes an American Indian reservation is a question of practice, not of legal definition, and the pueblos have always been treated as reservations by the United States. This pragmatic approach is buttressed by Arizona v. California (1963), wherein the Supreme Court indicated that the manner in which any type of federal reservation is created does not affect the application to it of the Winters doctrine. Therefore, the reserved water rights of Pueblo Indians have priority over other citizens' water rights as of 1848, the year in which pueblos must be considered to have become reservations.

提问:

这篇文章就讲了水的使用权和保留权吧 第一段说了几个适用于判断的法规 第二段说了不适用于法规的现象。而且这道题的其中一个问题的答案也说了 There would be no legal basis for the water rights of the Rio Grande pueblos.【如下】那为什么这篇文章的primary purpose还是explain the legal bases for the water rights of American Indian tribes 这不是自相矛盾吗 The passage suggests that, if the criteria discussed in the highlighted text were the only criteria for establishing a reservation's water rights, which of the following would be true? The water rights of the inhabitants of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation would not take precedence over those of other citizens. Reservations established before 1848 would be judged to have no water rights. There would be no legal basis for the water rights of the Rio Grande pueblos. Reservations other than American Indian reservations could not be created with reserved water rights. Treaties establishing reservations would have to mention water rights explicitly in order to reserve water for a particular purpose.
