A few years back the Miami tribe of N.E. Oklahoma used this same tack on East Central Illinois they sued fifteen landowners for 2.6 MILLION acres. At first they said they wanted the land or the money but they didn't want a casino. Eventually the truth came out that it WAS a casino they wanted right at our backdoor. The land they were suing for was in what is called the Wabash Watershed of East Central Illinois. It includes Champaign, Urbana, the University of Illinois and prime farm land that in some cases has been in the family for several generations. By the unpopularity caused by their suing the homeowners it looks like they have changed their tunes and are now NOT suing residential parties as it makes them look too bad. They were extremely surprised when they were rejected. They came in and put on a little show, did a little dance, prayed to the Great Father in their native language and were very surprised when the people weren't impressed by this or swayed to their side. I heard George Tiger state "Gee, after all this that we did I thought that at least fifty percent of them would be for us but there appears to be very few that are".. why was he so surprised? He shouldnt have been. This is getting curiouser and curioser..

Then this is not about "SHOPPING", it's about "GAMBLING".
