Apart from a small slice of affirmative action, thinly walled trailers, and radioactive land, I fail to see much payment.
Regarding the casinos, as far as I am aware they are on Native land (which can change at any time), so any tax abatement is irrelevant.
But, as is within most societies, the already affluent within the tribes reaped the most benefit.
FWIW.... I'm only 1/8th, so I don't "qualify" for any government or Cherokee nation funds (not that I would apply).
It just troubles me that the percentage of blood is so stringent for Native Americans, but not so much for other minorities.
BLEAH !! Sorry for the tangent....just got a bit riled.
