Yup. Many reservations are full of so much poverty they don't even have running water, electricity, or garbage services. Possibly without mail services as well, but I'm unsure about that one. Guess it depends on where you're talking about.

In book 5 of my Ravenstone stuff, I have a chapter taking place in and around the Navajo nation. It's not much, mostly a character introduction. See, one of Dalia's moms is Navajo, and for a few years she was acting as a vigilante hunting down serial killers who were preying on Navajo women. In the prime universe she brought too much attention from the magical government and had to flee; on her resulting journey she meets Morgana and Orpheus and they become a polycule.

But in the universe this book 5 chapter takes place in, she didn't flee. She kept at it, and got arrested. Then circumstances led her to escape and head back to go back to hunting murderers and cursing them to death. The magical government there collapses for complicated reasons, so she no longer fears arrest. I used Google Maps to get some good looks at the area for the chapter.

BTW is frybread a universal Indian thing? Cuz I happen to know the Navajo / Diné like it too.
