The total number of Indian casino and bingo halls approaches 500.<br /><br />Indian casinos earnings were $26.5 billion for 2009.<br /><br />The <a href="http://500nations.com/Indian_Casinos.asp" rel="nofollow">site</a> says that the tribes receive $4 of every $10 that are wagered at casinos, but the way such revenues are allocated is not without controversy. People will tell you that many reservations in Oklahoma still have very high poverty and addiction levels despite the millions made from casinos. I remember someone mentioning the case of a young Indian man he knew that had to be taught how to use a computer as an adult because the reservation school that he went to did not have enough for the student to use despite the fact that his tribe owns two of the biggest casino in the state. He said that if you go to a reservation near a casino you will often still see the same run down homes and lack of material goods that you would have seen before casinos became the norm.Jeremiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10809395041902843768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6521847710874444875.post-87679271392518224822010-06-22T10:03:27.826-07:002010-06-22T10:03:27.826-07:00Wolf Robe (b. 1838-1841, d. 1910, Oklahoma) was a ...Wolf Robe (b. 1838-1841, d. 1910, Oklahoma) was a Southern Cheyenne chief.<br /><br />During the late 1870s he was forced to leave the open plains and relocate his tribe onto the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheyenne_and_Arapaho_Indian_Reservation" rel="nofollow">Cheyenne and Arapaho Indian Reservation</a>:<br /><br /><i>Following the Red River War nearly all of the Southern Cheyenne and the Southern Arapaho began to live on the reservation, but despite the best efforts of the Indian Agent, John D. Miles, the promised government rations were inadequate and disease affected the tribes. Inadequate funds were appropriated by Congress and only poor quality cattle were available to the government. Thousands of cattle were being grazed illegally on the reservation by Texas cattlemen, but when the Indian agent attempted to buy cattle he was refused. Some cattle were confiscated on promise of payment. On the advice of the army, fearful of an outbreak, ammunition was withheld. The Indians were easy prey for white horse thieves. There was some work for Cheyenne women tanning hides for white traders. In 1875, 1876, and 1877 the tribes competed with white buffalo hunters for the last of the diminishing buffalo herds. Many buffalo were taken, but never enough; by 1877 there were very few left. In the winter of 1877-78 the remaining stragglers of the southern herd were hunted down.</i>Jeremiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10809395041902843768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6521847710874444875.post-16019936099265989962010-06-21T18:04:06.239-07:002010-06-21T18:04:06.239-07:00Sounds like the god of Ayn Rand:
