Is a Native American tribe permitted to sell alcohol and cigarettes on their reservation?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Gila River Indian Community v. Waddell, 91 F.3d 1232 (9th Cir. 1996):
That a tribe plays an active role in generating activities of value on its reservation gives it a strong interest in maintaining those activities free from state interference and distinguishes its situation from that of tribes which simply allow the sale of items such as cigarettes to take place on their reservations. See California v. Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, 480 U.S. 202, 107 S.Ct. 1083, 94 L.Ed.2d 244 (1987).
967 F.2d at 1410.
