The evidence that supports the author’s explicit statement that many Native Americans on tribal reservations do not have standard addresses is found in the quote:

“‘They’ll say something like, I live off highway 86 by milepost 125 and a half,’ said Gabriella Cázares-Kelly, a member of the Tohono O’odham Nation and a Democratic candidate for Pima County recorder in Arizona.”

This statement illustrates that individuals in these communities often provide descriptions of their locations rather than conventional addresses, indicating a lack of standard addresses on tribal reservations.
