This resulted in a massive decline in the number of people who knew the tribal languages. Some still managed to learn it on the down low -- something which was very useful to us in WWII if you recall.

At any rate, no, troopers don't have to carry around a traffic violation pad in every local Native language. It'd be no different than giving a traffic ticket to a non-English speaking Persian person.

As far as other tribal interactions with the city, the tribes are sovereigns. They don't really interact much with municipalities. Most interactions go through the Bureau of Indian Affairs I would think.

cool, and it's a moot point since it failed. But some one could claim to only speak their tirbabl language or prefer to have it in their tribal language.
