IF,everything you say is true, as an Indian, I say good for us. The reason we were put on reservations was for our protection from whites and to find ways to make a living and be sovereign. Now that Casinos are discovered and some tribes are becoming rich and prosperous, I see a lot of white envy and in some cases see a little hate boil up to the surface. Take Donald duck Trump for instance. He is so tiffed that he has to pay taxes on his casino and the Indians don't, he keeps going to Washington to get his political friends to try to stop it. Every time I see that A hole on TV crying , I laugh my butt off. People like him would have been the first to put Indians on a reservation for their own good. In case some of you don't know, the richer reservations share with the poor ones that don't have casinos. My tribe does not have a casino and last year we got $250 thousand from the casino fund. This goes to housing for the Elderly and food programs etc.
You nailed it.
