Always great to see people standing up.

Of course, as soon as the MAGAts notice that people (who are not white people!) are undercutting their precious tariffs, the Native Americans will become targets as well. The treaties that the US government has with the various tribes notwithstanding — abrogating treaties is a standard MO with these people.

Still, good on them for taking the initiative. I hope it makes them all filthy rich.
