I gotta say it's kinda odd to me that the Navajo have to go through the process of getting a permit and dealing with the tribal government just to get medicine for ceremony or whatever else they need it for. On my reservation if you need anything whether it be sage, sweetgrass you just need a tobacco offering for the land
It is. but it goes against traditions in many indigenous religions to have someone in a position of authority especially in the government to say how someone can pray or regulate it whatever happens between the creator and one person is that person's business alone.

Isn't the Navajo Nation the most populous? It could just be an issue of scale. That said, I guarantee most people aren't getting a permit.
