I don't recall any standoff that was stymied because it was on an Indian reservation. The folks up in Idaho, who shot a couple FBI agents and were themselves shot (while using their baby as a shield), were simply resisting arrest.
Or maybe it was the RI tobacco sellers who refused to submit to state taxation rules for sales to non-Indians?
Or something altogether different?

Maybe Hank was thinking about the Mohawks. In the late 80s/early 90s, they had a spat with the Canadian government (and an armed stand-off with the Canadian army), and an internal dispute (almost a civil war) over the operations of their casino on their reservation in New York. New York State Police set up check points going in and out of the reservation to try to keep the peace, but did not enter.
