My great-great grandmother was full-blooded Mohawk. I recently learned that she had been a midwife in Canada where her parents had settled. I never knew any of my grandparents. They were all gone before I was born in 1947. I always felt that I missed out a lot in not knowing any of them. My Dad came from Holland as a little boy, and my mother was born in Canada.
It’ll work. North/South, East/West Main or Maple, etc. divide at the corner next to the casino. North Main is one way going north. South Main starts at the casino and goes south.
Thanks...only taking $40 with me. With the $30 free play I’ll get, that will be plenty to play the penny machines with.
My grandmother left the Qualla reservation when she married my grandfather...They lived in the East Tennessee mountains...
Join with the indecent citizens. They are much more powerful and conniving
Any other businesses close at hand??? They’ll suffer...LOL
Several years ago, I watched the Cherokee casino advertisements on TV. This was for Oklahoma.
We visited friends in California, and saw the exact same advertisements on Cali TV. Only the names of the casinos changed.
A few years back, there was an attempt to legalize gambling in Arkansas, specifically Hot Springs. All the churches came out against it, and the anti-gambling adds showed a polish and professional look. The vote went against gambling.
Later,it was found those professional made anti-gambling advertisements were paid for, not by the churches, but by casinos in Mississippi, and possibly Oklahoma which did not want the competition from Arkansas casinos.
Rural version of big city “issues”.I’ll take the rural.
With you bro.
Too bad that can’t all be like the Mescalero Apache Inn of the Mountain Gods in Ruidoso, NM.
Thank you....
BTW, Sandbridge is technically the upper tip of the Outer Banks. The entire OBX area is one of my favorite places to take a summer vacation.
We’re planning on spending part of a day up at False Cape State Park, drive up the beach and park at the state border barrier and hike in. We’re going to hike to the Wash Woods ghost town.
If they depended on Indians for customers they would all go broke, It’s your fellow white neighbors that keep them going.
their filthy, prefabricated, typically “native American” dumps
“***The federal government has pretty much given the Indians free reign to open casinos on their appointed lands, regardless of local laws elsewhere.***”
IIRC, a tribe can open a gambling business on tribal land regardless of local law unless if gambling of any kind is allowed in the state. So if a state has just even a lottery, local governments can’t to anything. Last I recall, the only states with no gambling at all are Utah and Hawaii.
That's so funny because I do almost the exact same thing. My wife thinks I'm nuts. Each morning I'm there, I get up early and just take a long walk through as many casinos on the strip as I can. Sometimes I'm gone for three or four hours. During that time I don't stop to gamble but I'll stop for coffee and breakfast. I just walk and take it all in. That puts me in the right frame of mind for the rest of the day.
Yes. It is well done.
My family lore has it that we have Indian blood but I haven’t been able to prove it. Plenty of old family photos look like it. Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina settlers...chances are good. Nevertheless I have utmost respect.
Yep...Chances are very good in those states...My ancestry is Scots/Irish and Ani Yun Wiya...
