INDIAN RESERVATION
The introduction of
INTOXICATING LIQUOR
into or its possession within this reservation,
or its sale to Indians, is
FORBIDDEN BY LAW
under a penalty of fine and imprisonment
NO TRESSPASSING OR HUNTING
The fact that "tresspassing" was misspelled made the sign a trifle less awesome and pompous than it had seemed at first glance, but I brought the car to a complete stop and pondered for a while.
Well, I wasn't "introducing" any liquor (from what I'd heard, most Indians didn't need an introduction) but to go into the reservation would be trespassing, I guessed. Still, the gateway was open and white people, I knew, drove through it frequently. Maybe by "tresspassing" in this case, they simply meant getting out of the car and going off the road.
