I gotta ask: Are there any Cherokee Casinos?
To: PJ-Comix
Yes, one big one in North Carolina, and at least one in Oklahoma (Owasso). The one in OK has a big expansion underway; my husband applied to do their computer network, before we moved to NC last year! I'm sure the Oklahoma nation has others, at least Bingo halls out in their population centers. There was also a bingo joint opened by a splinter group in OK (United Keetowah Band), but I'm pretty sure the state shut them down, and may also have recalled their license plates.
It was an ugly situation for a while, fistfights on the courthouse lawn in Tahlequah, some unsolved shootings. I don't know if the "Cherokee Phoenix" newspaper is online (chance 33_93 often posts Indian articles, you could ask him about his links).

Just follow Pete Rose around. If there are any, he'll be there.
