Fun Fact. Indian (US gov’t uses that term legally, so I will here) Tribes are Sovereign Nations. They actually do not need to deal with anything the local and state governments tell them. They deal directly with the Feds just as any other nation-state, with some differences like they can’t declare war on someone.

So if the Hopi want to tell Arizona to get bent on time zones, they can!

It’s one reason why the giant payday loan scammer setup shop on a Reservation. (pirg.org/…/the-end-for-rent-a-tribe-payday-lendin…)
