Members of the Tulalip Tribes of Washington are proposing new restrictions to the tribal liquor law.
The Tulalip Grassroots Committee wants to restrict liquor sales to the tribe's Quil Ceda Village and the tribe's casino. But businesses there would not be allowed to advertise the sale of alcohol.
If adopted by the tribe, the initiative would appear to bar two existing stores from selling liquor. A state-run liquor store on the reservation would have to remove signs from its window, a tribal member said.
"Indians have a lifelong battle with alcohol," Les Parks, who leads the Tulalip Grassroots Committee, told The Everett Herald.
