I have been getting cigarettes delivered for a while now from a NY Indian Tribe. Even switched brands to the Indian brand Seneca for 15 bucks a carton. I really can not see how this can help raise revenues when people are just going to buy cigarettes elsewhere.

Funny thing about the Seneca Indians. I recently found out i have part Senaca blood. My mother was given up as a baby and her birth mom was half Indian. I don't even know if my mother knew this. She died in 1989. One of my cousins told me that if you can prove 25 % part Indian that your Indian. Have you ever heard this before? Needless to say now I know why I have high cheekbones!!!

25% is enough for most tribes, I think. I do know from looking at Census data that the number of American Indians has increased far beyond the natural rate of increase for the size of their population in 1970, for example. In economic terms, that means it's more profitable to identify oneself as an Indian.

Do they have a web site? I would like to show my support for "Native Americans".
