Eight people have been charged with smuggling alcohol onto the Metlakatla Reservation in Alaska.

The accused were not involved in a bootlegging ring, authorities said. Each was charged individually.

Metlakatla is the only federally-recognized reservation in the state. Federal supervision over the rest was terminated with the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971.
