There's a good chance that few of those areas are on the reservation, which often were picked to be the worst land in the region. So many still may not live within a convenient distance of an area for wood.
Plus, even if they do live near a forest, I'm not sure if the Forest Service would have jurisdiction. It's possible the tribe has the rights, or the BIA handles it.
