I will look into it but I'm willing to bet that IF that did happen it was a special case with a particular tribe for a particular reason. My tribe works closely with the Government and believe me if this was open to all Indians my tribe would be right up front in line. We have no Casino and are pretty pour compared to the Casino tribes.

I understand. My ancestory goes to the Rosebud Sioux, which is very poor. The Miwoks, in my area, are not an approved Tribe, therefore don’t get the same rights concerning casinos. The casino’s in the area do not pay federal taxes but the money must go to the tribe that runs the casino.
Have you contacted the BIA concerning Federal pay?

I’m with you, I’ve missed out on all my gubmint free Indian stuff.
It’s the myth that never dies, that all Indians are the same, and we all collect our federal checks each month.
