The Puyallups and Muckleshoots are indian tribes up here in the Great Northwet. They are allowed to own and run casinos as well as shoot off fireworks (and apparently skyrockets, although I don't see how). To quote the fireworks tattletale hotline operator "If they're on reservation land, they can do whatever they want." The missing piece to the story is that in Washington, the indian tribes have been selling their land in a kind of checkerboard method. So my neighbors, whose house is 45 feet from mine, can shoot skyrockets up into the air that land on my roof and car. Yet it is illegal for me to have safe and sane fireworks. They started near the end of June and seem to prefer shooting them off between 11pm and 2am.
