Because Indian Nations are landlocked nations within a nation, as a product of various treaties between the Tribes and the federal government. The feds and states have very little say as to what goes on in a reservation.

Yet they can manipulate our government to their advantage.

Under several Cal governors (who took campaign funds from Nevada casino owners) the state tried to limit Indian gaming. One time they limited the number of slots. When you went into Pechanga on the weekends people were in line to play slots.

The Indians put in initiatives on the ballot and won every time.

Most people I have talked to about that say let the indians have the casinos, if people don’t want to gamble then don’t go.
