Three out of four of those corners (including the one in which the gummies are a misdemeanor) are also within the Navajo Nation. Kinda feels like that tribal jurisdiction ought to matter.

They do. And for most purposes each reservation is it's own little defacto nation. They aren't truly, but definitely in spirit lol.

They don't necessarily. Historically they didn't have jurisdiction over non-tribal members. Now there are some detainment powers, but it is not 100% clear still.

Each nation has its own agreement with the USA that defines these things, it's weird. I think it's in Wisconsin where tribe members retain hunting and fishing rights to a lake sold as a private lake, when cops showed up, they had to let them fish and hunt or the land would be returned to the tribe. As per the agreement from long ago.

Ummm that is a sold sort of. It is more clear now, but is history tribal police couldn't reinforce the law or even detain non tribal members. After a supreme court ruling and a new federal law tribal place have some power over non-tribal members. But not to necessarily to the extent of other local law enforcement.
