By treaty, they run themselves, but by reality, they receive govt money. What happened, casino license didn't get renewed, or smoke shop burned down?

We are a sovereign nation - we want to run the place our way and pay no taxes - but we do EXPECT US taxpayers to pay big bucks to us though...

We do not have a casino or a smoke shop. Government money is a part of the budget.Income comes from small business tax, a coal mine and power plant funds.

Suuuure they'll help. Just "donate" a few hundred thousand again and they'll get right onto your issues. Really!

There is a glimmer of hope. Chief Ellis of the Creek Nation reiterated recently that it was his mission as chief to turn gambling into the second source of funds under traditional business revenue. Who knows. All the power to them. I wish they would get away from the tobacco out of health concerns.

Well, yes, it was hard for them to get money after Abramoff was arrested.....
To: Red Badger
Sure, but they want our money, too. Greedy just like so many other groups.
Now since Nancy has said that the dems must cut spending, wonder where this money will come from? Military maybe? Two birds with one stone, support their give-aways and trash the Military they despise for making the US so great in the world.

I assume since you're here, you're a conservative. Doesn't it sound to you that the arrangement you mention is a bit odd?

for more funding for our hospitals, for our schools, for our social services, for our health services, for the different things we get help with (from) the federal government." Here we go. Be prepared to hand over your wallets to the rats.

Shirley is an idiot. I was hoping Lynda Lovejoy would pull this one out. Unfortunately, she is anti-casino and the Navajos are about to get into the casino business. Nepotism rules on the reservation and it's hard to get rid of the "good old boys."

Abramoff played the indians like a diseased blanket. Indian nations in general need to get better business talent to ward off carpet baggers like him.
Oh by the way, if you are 'truly' an Okie, you have some indian blood in you. Otherwise you are an european occupier.
