A lot of these tribes are in violation of the terms of their treaties. I think a case could be made to void them, unless they come into compliance. Look up a few, and you will find one thing most have in common, they are supposed to not have anything to do with spirits.....booze. Now they sell it in their own liquor stores, serve it in the casinos. There is a reason that there is a gaming commission in Nevada, to keep out organized crime, and rake in taxes. Indian tribes don't pay taxes, and of course organized crime has been extinguished in America.
Indians in lower 48 must be alot different than up here in Alaska. Been the only white boy in nativeland and saw another side of the picture; and was alot different than my conservative urban alaskan take on things.
Indians up here are being displaced in the scheme of things. They have lost bout everything they started with and process isn't slowing down with progress.
The alcohol is behind everything. 100 years back were 400 Indians in our community, now only 28 remain, 5 don't drink, and the rest spend every govt penny on booze. Pretty good sharing people just the same. Govt should give all the blm lands back to villages, much better caretakers than govt and might wean them off Great White Father welfare with development.
Had a 15 year old once tell me that Indians didn't blame us whites on the alcohol probs, it was just a clash of our cultures; pretty close to the truth too.
