- There are 425 Indian gaming facilities in the USA operated by 240 tribes operating in 28 states earning $26.7 billion in 2008. Federally recognized tribes can operate casinos outside state jurisdiction because they are considered sovereign entities by the United States. The profits are supposed to be shared by all tribal members. Alas, greed has entered the hearts of some (a trait supposedly unique to the white man?). In more and more tribes it is becoming the standard to disenroll tribal members for no reason except not having to share revenues among all its members. In other tribes tribal chiefs receive considerably more (large estates for chiefs, ordinary housing for others), than the tribal members. I guess it is now time for the Feds to step in before most tribes only consist of the families of those in control of the gaming. Yeah yeah, he ja he ja ho. To ensure survival of the tribes it is best not to go gaming in Indian casinos or even better to forbid it alltogether. #10 — Comments (0) — 11/23/2009 at 5:10 AM — Money — Great stuff!
