They're freakin' loaded! No wonder they didn't want Elizabeth Warren claiming to be Cherokee.

Close down the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Why do we allow citizens of their own sovereign nations to vote in our elections and receive our tax money?

[Romulus]

All because they refused to go with the government plan to move them off their land.

Because all the beads they made by hand are now made in ... China.

When I visited Cherokee NC years ago it was the most depressing place I’d ever been. We had to drive around two Indians passed out in the middle of the street. There was a skinny, sickly black bear in a cage in the middle of town.

We couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

The Cherokee of the late 1700s and early 1800s were often wealthy plantation owners with African slaves.

Cherokee, N.C. is like one big carniavl with the carnie hawkers out front. It is a dirty place. The only reason that people got there is to go the casino.

Great post, so informative, thanks.

This is very different from the Pine Ridge Sioux. The anger that consumes them is killing them and the Federal government is not helping.

The luck of the draw. It all depends on whether the Indian casino on tribal land is a profitable enterprise or not and the number of tribal members on the tribal land that share in it. The less, the better. These guys lucked out.

For my brother and I, growing up in central Florida, two of our best friends as boys were brothers of similar ages of Cherokee ancestry. Like their full-blooded reservation born mother, they were great fun to spend time with. The Cherokee thing though was of no consequence.

Fascinating. Also, it’s a model of what U.S. early settler descendants/loyal veterans/Constitutional patriots can aim for once the shooting is over, if we lose. Have a huge reservation and start over. Start some sin businesses that the woke overlords will want (render unto Caesar), but otherwise keep the wokesters out.

“The Shakopee Mdewakanton are the wealthiest Native American tribe, going by the individual personal wealth. They are 480 members, and each member gets around $84,000 per month, as disclosed by a tribe member going through a divorce.

The tribe is so rich that no one has to work; in 2012, the tribe’s President then, Stanley R. Crooks, bragged that they enjoy 99.2% of voluntary unemployment.”

I think Liz Warren picked the wrong tribe to say she was a blood sister. lol
