[FRIAM] Rocky Mountain Tumwater (oysters?)

Riffing off my own riff: (details courtesy of GPT)*

/*Tesla has established two facilities on Native American tribal lands 
in New Mexico*:​/

 1.

    /*Nambé Pueblo*: In 2021, Tesla opened its first sales, service, and
    delivery center on Nambé Pueblo land, effectively bypassing state
    laws that prohibit direct-to-consumer automobile sales. ​/

 2.

    /*Santa Ana Pueblo*: Construction of a second facility began on
    Santa Ana Pueblo land in late 2022, with the center expected to open
    in May 2023. This 35,000-square-foot facility includes sales,
    service, and delivery operations, along with charging stations.
    ​Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Ana_Pueblo>/

/These strategic partnerships with sovereign tribal nations allow Tesla 
to operate without adhering to state restrictions on direct vehicle sales./

Right here in 'river city' (Rio Grande in this case)?

Best I can tell, this is unique in the world, perhaps the confluence of 
strongly protective (of traditional auto dealers) stances vs strongly 
respectful of Tribal Sovereignty unique to NM? Something the would never 
happen in Kristy Noem's South Dakota for example?

Waiting with 'bated breath for fElon47 to rename us to "Nuevo Murrica!".

And just a hop, skip, jump away: https://www.indigenousarms.com/

Po Pay did it in 1680, I say don't provoke his spirit Donald and Elno?
