I live on the Pine Ridge Rez in Wanblee South Dakota. You are preaching to the wrong crowd. What exactly is your point? My point was to show how good many tribes have it. Many tribes have members making over a million a year, not just the ones in Minnesota. Casinos in Oklahoma are also booming and making more than oil companies.
Do you really think a million a year makes you one of the "richest people in america"? Not even close.

it makes the tribe a rich group as a whole. name another ethnic group (or company) that has every single one of its members making that type of dough
The richest people in America are part of the Tribe -- but they ain't Indians

You live on the Pine Ridge Rez? Nice, your life expectancy if your a male is 48, if your a female its 52...better get off the internet and enjoy the rest of the summer.
the casinos are "Indian owned" but there's always a white guys/jewish dudes with no indian heritage whatsoever at the top raking in the dough, do some research. BTW, ever been to an Indian Reservation?

No doubt. Wynn, Adelson, e tal
Time to move to Minnesota and open up a high-end liquor store.
Honestly there are more foolish and racist ideas that come out of this silly sovereign nation in a nation notion. Now you think employees should be required to have Native American blood? Already people are claiming to be Indian to access the wealth of benefits that members of the "Nation" have.This whole, buy up land and pay no local or federal taxes, creates resentment by businesses have pay to taxes and have to compete with Native American businesses.In some areas, the Native Americans are not only rich but very politically strong. The country drove the Indians out of their land. It was wrong. We also bought and kept blacks as slaves. That was pretty too right? Indian descendants get a free tax ride. Blacks....well they got a biracial preesident.Lets treat everyone the race with the same rules and assume some got a head start.
