"The old yellow school bus looked out of place as it rumbled along a remote dirt road near the U.S.-Mexico border. Its markings said Tucson, which is more than 50 miles away, and it wasn't anywhere near a school. When a tribal police officer and U.S. Border Patrol agents stopped the northbound bus, the driver's intentions became clear: In every seat, there was a large, vacuum-packed bale of marijuana." (USA TODAY) This article discusses the increase in drug trafficking occurring throughout Indian reservations, specifically addressing the increase at the Tohono O'odham reservation.
