See, now I think that's bullshit. I suppose I could move back to my "native land" and claim a stake of whatever Casinos they may have in Sedgwick county, but no amount of money in the world could entice me to move my family to the suburbs of Wichita Kansas. Besides, I worked hard in college like a lot of Blacks, Chinese, Europeans, and others with me... Now I work and I get paid for it. I "earned" it. To take hundreds of thousands of dollars "free and clear" from local gamblers because my great, great grandfather took it up the shoot from the government is preposterous to me.

I fail to understand how a $500,000 family income in 2003 makes up for some treaties that were broken in the early 1800s, especially when it goes to a family with the ways and means to make it through today's society on their own. Send that money to the alcohol rehab centers, and to the homeless shelters that see a lot of Indians that need "legitimate" help.
