	Hmmm...

	With independence day looming, normally quite sane
	people are flocking to the local indian reservations
	to purchase illegal (under WA state law) fireworks.

	Apparently, fireworks made illegal by state law are
	not illegal on the reservations, because the reserva-
	tions are under FEDERAL juristisction.  If state laws
	do not apply on the reservations, are other activities
	allowed such as:

		Casino Gambling?

		Prostitution?

		Abortion?

	If these activities are NOT allowed, who has made
	them illegal; tribal governments?  The feds?

	I'm not trying to fan flames, but if the federal gov.
	is making the laws under which the indians must live,
	without the approval of the state governments,
	      -****>>> insert opinion here <<<****-
	
	Does anyone care to comment?????
