local tribes view the fireworks as an “adverse effect” on their traditional cultural views. “Fireworks continue to be viewed by multiple Tribes as an adverse effect on the traditional cultural landscape

From a letter by John Adams to Abigail Adams (July 3, 1776):

But the Day is past. The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America.

I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.

That is the "cultural landscape."

Just do it. Dare them to stop you.

Call out the Guard if you have to.

“Wheatley mentions that local tribes view the fireworks as an “adverse effect” on their traditional cultural views.”

Yet it’s safe to say that every single one of these local tribes sells fireworks on their rez.

I remember a happier time in American when the white man and the red man could work together. It seems the great chief in Washington DC won't let that happen.

Some day, there will be a reckoning for the people who turned this country into trash.
