Seminole Bingo is where this whole Indian casino thing started. One day back in the 70s it suddenly occured to the Seminoles that since they have tribal sovereignty, they don't need to abide by the state laws governing Bingo payouts so they just opened a Bingo hall with bigger payouts. When the State of Florida complained that they were breaking the rules, the Seminoles basically replied, "Rules, we don't need no stinkin' rules!" And the rest, as they say, is history.

Dumb Indian marries smart lawyer and all hell breaks loose.Reservation land is legally different than the rest of the country.

White man say so.Why white man say different now? LOL!

So what, specifically, is your problem with developement on tribal property?

And what, specifically, gives you the idea you have a voice regarding Seminole tribal property? Are you tribal? Or are you just envious that the US government doesnt own ALL the land.
