I’ll be damned - I’ve been through Long Island a couple dozen times, and never knew there was an Indian Reservation there. Its pretty small, and it seems they are sitting on some prime real-estate.

For two decades, the Shinnecock Indian Nation has tried and failed to open a casino near Manhattan in the hope that a gambling hall would be an economic engine to wrest them from poverty and fund social programs.
Now the tribe has its eye on a new location: its home in the Hamptons.
The Shinnecock Hamptons Casino is expected to rise on the tribe’s reservation here on the East End of Long Island as early as 2023.

Ha! Very interesting! I hope they do all they can to benefit their community and fully utilize their land to the utmost. Screw the libs and the hypocrisy.
The Unkechaugi have a reservation in Mastic LI as well...the Poospatuck reservation.
Ever notice all the Indian names for towns on the Island? Wholebunchalotta bands lived out there.
Please let it be YUGGGGGEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Please let it be TRASHY, LOUD, BRIGHT, and GROSS!!!!
Let all the Wall St and Hedge Fund scumbags reap what they sow.
Let the world see them for who they are, the ultimate in hypocrisy.
Let them go in front of the world and deny those they “say” they want to help the most with their embrace of all things liberal, progressive, socialist. Except, when those things interfere or encroach on their lives.
Hopefully, there’s an Indian tribe that can prove that Martha’s Vineyard is part of their ancestral land and they slam one up on the island.
with all of the Indian casinos around the nation(plus the huge federal grants over many years), the American Indian should be the wealthiest race of people in the world.
Here’s a little fact about the tribe: d’ys BLACK!@!
THIS is the reason the Tory celebraating Hampton families don’t want it!
Yes, the families in the Hamptons celebrate the return of the British, to Long Island. They were all Tory families.
I’m sure the whole woke reparations argument will have the whole island back in tribal hands eventually.
My favorite quote from the article “A lot of us are bleeding-heart liberals and sympathetic to the oppressed, and we understand their attempt for economic development,” said a homeowner in the group, James Wacht. “But it’s not the right location.”
Liberals are the biggest hypocrites on the planet, let them get a taste of their own medicine.
It’s my understanding for many of the “Indian Nations” they have their own “mob”. “Connected families” that control things. Like in all mafias those at the top get the cream, those under get much less. Eventually they reach a point where they are siphoning off so much that nothing really changes economically for the common folk. Any attempts to change it and its stopped by the “White Man’s Guilt Card”.
Visit Prior Lake, MN and you’ll see VERY wealthy Indians...
Mafia? Sounds like Collectivist “trickle down” economics (socialism). Which came first?
All casinos will do is bring in more crime and degrade the population even further. Free handouts create... well, just look at Black America. Welfare is a method of creating a slave class. The intentions behind it are evil. Always.

Maybe they should put up some huge wind turbines too. Liberals love those huge turbines...as long as they are far away. Can’t ruin the view, dontcha know?
Genius....gonna need plenty of those YUGE noisy, non-recyclable, monstrosities to power all those YUGE neon lights and kill all the birds
Almost all of the Tribal groups in Minnesota and Wisconsin are the same if they have any casino money.
They are rather “dark” for Indins
Faux natives taking on insufferable elites.
What’s not to. Enjoy.
Schadenfreude
Will there be horses? Snoopy would be a good name.
