Many native Americans in Oklahoma have brought themselves out of poverty thanks to these ‘cheesy casinos’. Nothing bad about that.

A lot of native Americans were sent to Oklahoma and settled on some of the richest oil property in the U.S. They aren't exactly starving, they get the oil royalties.

Thanks. I have the same list. I work with several of those tribes in the gaming business and none that I am aware of were receiving the oil royalties you described. Are you aware of any specific examples or were you just making a vague assertion? I’m not trying to be hard on you, it’s just I’ve never heard about any *rich* indians in Oklahoma via oilfield royalties.

I have heard land men describing how hard it is to find a Cherokee, for instance, to sign a royalty lease. Oklahoma had a great number of oil fields, although most are on water-flooding and other secondary treatments to pump out their remaining oil. Think Saudia Arabia 20 years from now.

What losers. People who live their life by sports need another life.
