This seems ready made for the tribe to frame any brouhaha in terms of "frightened white people trying to tell Natives what they can do on the tiny bits of land they let us keep." That could lead to an interesting Social Justice Warrior feeding frenzy.SJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-90474314339463392532015-03-09T19:47:09.023+01:002015-03-09T19:47:09.023+01:00Jack,

Try to persuade them not to do it. All that's fine. What isn't kosher is the people wanting to use the county government to stop the tribe.SJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-18880915591322032492015-03-09T17:20:49.796+01:002015-03-09T17:20:49.796+01:00I think it's a funny irony that some tribes ar...<i>I think it's a funny irony that some tribes are getting rich off white mans gambling habit, especially since the law won't let gambling in communities across the street from Indian casinos; but there have been legitimate complaints how those casinos negatively effect the non Indian communities adjacent to those casinos.</i><br /><br />Is that any "funnier" than white men getting rich selling alcohol near reservations where it's banned, without regard to the detrimental effects on the reservations?Kurt '45superman' Hofmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091930034162667742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-34097828161044288352015-03-09T15:34:13.161+01:002015-03-09T15:34:13.161+01:00It's not a matter of their (Indians) right, it...It's not a matter of their (Indians) right, it's a matter of community relationships.
