On my side of our street, we have the tribal award winning fire department, they even have large water tanker trucks. Just across the street is the township volunteer department that takes forever. Protected by the tribal police and I guess they are Federal Officers. I support and respect them. Not all of the locals do. They have a great cultural museum near by too. I ever donated an artifact I found that they excepted and thanked me.
