Personally I don't care one way or the other from a political standpoint but a lot of folks lost jobs as a result of the tribes greed and some of them were Indians who lost jobs. I think it was a way of sticking it to non tribal folks for "Stealing their land !" I also am thinking that they are cutting off their nose to spite their face. They had to give up the keno and poker machines but can still run others. The tribes gambling casinos are operating and hogging all the gambling business for themselves while shutting down all non tribal gaming operations except a few that have made agreements with the tribe to use tribal machines or share the money with them or something like that. There are a few token whites working at these places but the tribes do have tribal hiring preferences. I do know that here on the Flathead Rez the tribes and the state, as a result of failing to come to an agreement on gambling has left everyone who derived their income from gambling jobs here on the rez out of work except the natives who work at the tribal casinos of coarse. I'm not for infringing on anyone's freedoms here but me and mine have nothing to do with those particular bad habits. Just like smoking cigarettes, hanging out in bars and any kind of gambling.
