Two Arizona tribes made the largest donations to the city of Tucson after officials said the annual Fourth of July fireworks celebration was being canceled due to budget cuts.
The Pascua Yaqui Tribe donated $20,000 and the Tohono O'odham Nation, through its Desert Diamond Casino, donated $10,000. The donations were among $65,000 raised for the fireworks and related activities.
"We applaud these organizations and other anonymous donors for keeping this holiday tradition alive," The Arizona Daily Star said in an editorial.
