You would be well advised to check actual facts before submitting speculation in the light of reality. Most Indians do not have casinos or casino profits. I am a Cherokee tribal member. We are the second largest tribe in the US with over 200,000 members. We are not allowed to have actual casinos in Oklahoma although we operate several slot palaces.
The Cherokee benefit little from these proceeds and in fact they do not make up for the loss of program funds that have been the result of the recent Administration (Bush) cuts.
Additionally, I have been involved for over 20 years in Indian politics and am a curent and ongoing member of a number of Tribal organizations. For the most part we are all in the same boat. Less than 3% percent of the U.S. tribes have large grossing casino operations. Less than 20 % have any at all.
few are making enbnough to overcome the loss of funds owed us by the US government from treaties and bills going back over 150 years. The current administration professes they have "lost" some of the accounting and dont have a clue of how to pay us the over 50 billion that is owed.
As far as genocide goes, the diseases were but a fraction of the process that included forced removal, scalp hunting for profit, rape of Indian children at boarding schools (ask my grandmother about that one) and numerous other acts of murder committed and approved by the US government.
You would do well to look in YOUR heart and assess why you speak so much of that you know so little
