I was about to quote one of the posters above when I saw it was you. =D I think you answered your own question.

How is giving one tribe millions and stiffing there neighbor out of money & land NOT demoralizing?

And how do those that GET the extra money feel? I am sure they are happy with the extra cash, but I know for a fact some of them are quite disgusted by the whole thing and donate a fair portion of their "winnings"(pun intended) to local charities and neighboring 'tribes'. Which is very commendable. I can only assume those that do not express such feelings and progressive motivation are disgusted with themselves(and mostly drive lifted 4x4's and drink nonstop). I live on reservation land and know first hand that giving people who have not earned that much money is a very bad thing.

Mo' money mo' problems!

In my clouded biased opinion - "Indian gaming" should be banned and reservations should be closed. My family did not come here rape, murder and steal land.

And what about 'black' reparations? That was only a few years ago in the whole scheme of things.

Pretty sick really and thats coming from a middle class white male. If the "native americans" get free money, why dont the Irish or the Africans?

I believe the government maintains these reservations to demoralize the 'indian' people. But then again, I have a lot of 'indian' friends who think the same thing, but they also would never close the casinos as they EACH get a RIDICULOUS amount of money PER MONTH.
