It sounds like in Indian Country , they’ve decided this lockdown has lasted long enough.
As noted Indian reservations have great sovereign powers to operate as they see fit.
Mob operations, yes?
The Coachella Valley isn’t what you normally associate with being an Indian Reservation. The tribe in and around Palm Springs, the Agua Caliente, is very wealthy, and the land which they own is non-contiguous and like a checkerboard, you have a tribal parcel of land, then a non-tribal parcel. They are also very generous in funding many infrastructure projects throughout the Valley.
