I kind of wonder where all the money goes and how it gets divided up. I have only been to Indian reservations in California in fact I used to live a few miles from one 30 years ago. On a lot of them there are large elaborate casinos that appear very busy, also they sell drinks unlike Las Vegas casinos that give them away. Also and I am sure this is true in other areas the Cahuilla Indians own 50 square miles in the Palm Springs area (Desert resort town) so they lease land to local businesses and also own golf courses open to the public.
Seems odd the wealth some of the Indian tribes control yet most of the residential areas on the reservations I have been on look like slums. I think the tribal leaders are probably corrupt and not spreading the wealth beyond their inner circle.
