Three out of four of those corners (including the one in which the gummies are a misdemeanor) are also within the Navajo Nation. Kinda feels like that tribal jurisdiction ought to matter.

They do. And for most purposes each reservation is it's own little defacto nation. They aren't truly, but definitely in spirit lol.

Each nation has its own agreement with the USA that defines these things, it's weird. I think it's in Wisconsin where tribe members retain hunting and fishing rights to a lake sold as a private lake, when cops showed up, they had to let them fish and hunt or the land would be returned to the tribe. As per the agreement from long ago.
