I'm not exactly how sure the gambling thing works with the Tribes, but do any of the Native American members of these tribes get any of that money that goes into those casinos?
The Onedia Indian Nation (Casino's name is Turning Stone Casino and Resort) uses it like taxes. Public works projects, lower tax rates for themselves and even pitching into the local community off OIN land (helping local schools and the water system). Granted, since the land claim the help outside the OIN has been dry, but in this case it is invested into their nation.
Please explain. Is this 'city kid mocking country folk' humor or something? It's a shame that we kept punting the tribes to worse and worse land such that they have to resort to gambling, but then Las Vegas was a desert oasis railroad town until 70 years ago. Granted, I doubt they'll get a 'cold Vegas' established, even with wind farms because there's not much there. Fargo at least has the song "Red River Valley". Missile silos and wheat fields is about it. The Black Hills or Badlands are closer to other tribal reservations.
