An interesting dilemma

The Tohomo O'odham Indian reservation streaches across souther Arizona USA as well as Sonora Mexico ( 2.8 million acres). This reservation ws created by treaty with both the US government and the government of Mexico.
The O'odham people have always been able to travel/hunt anywhere on their reservation without restriction not recognising US/Mexico borderlines. Armed national guardsmen are now patrolling/observing within the reservation and have been accused of interfering with the native hunting parties in the general area of the border. The national guard defends their position claiming a high rate of drug smuggling and illegal aliens crossing that area.

Armed National Guard troops are no longer welcome in the Tohono O'odham Nation's Pisinimo District.

On Nov. 16, the Pisinimo District Council unanimously passed a resolution prohibiting armed National Guard troops from using mountains in the district as observation posts, said District Chairman Johnson Jose.

Whether the resolution will actually keep the Guard out of the district remains unclear. Even though district councils are entitled to write laws for themselves, any issue of national scope should be addressed by the Tribal Council, said Tohono O'odham Nation Chairwoman Vivian Juan-Saunders.

The Tribal Council authorized the National Guard to come onto the nation, and as long as troops respect the nation and its sovereignty, that remains valid, she said. The Pisinimo District hasn't brought the issue to the Tribal Council yet, she said.

She called the measure a "recommendation" that states the district's position. She would not say whether it would ban armed National Guard units from the district.

The Pisinimo District move came in response to the arrest of some of its members during an annual deer-hunting ceremony in August; the Border Patrol says it has no record of such an incident.
