So those have to be patrolled by federal officers and tried in federal court?

Yeah, had a friend get unlawfully searched (native American sleeping in his car) in the parking lot of a national park in Utah. Got arrested for small amounts of weed and spent time in federal lockup. Luckily his family is very influential in his tribe so they were able to get him released and charges dropped. Happens to many people and POC and natives are much more likely to be targeted or charged for small amounts of cannabis.

The government owns a ton of land used for national parks, grazing, and fish / wildlife conservation. But the biggest benefactors of this will probably be Washington D.C. which has about as many citizens as Alaska.
