No Even if the tibes do apply to open a casion off the reservation they still have to get approval from the county state and feds, at least in the state of Wi, any ways

Bet on India?  For what?  Are they in a contest?  \n\nBy the way, who are "u pple"?\n\nYou're not only rude, but you make no sense in this question.  Go learn some manners and some English, then ask again.

I believe gambling is illegal in most states.  If it is, you have no rights to sue in court for an illegal activity and may subject you and all who participated for charges.  You will have a lot of angry people at you.

Good question, I think the only reason is because overall most poeple in the nation (now I'm not saying all, and the numbers are dwinding) don't want a nation of gamblers.  Not to mention it would have a bad effect on the state lotteries already in place creating revinue for the states.

there are 3 sub-bands that make up the tribe in your question: mescalero, chiricahua, and lipan. they don't soley rely on the casino for income...there is a resort on the rez, big game hunting, mining, timber, ski-resort, etc. many tribes are getting into gaming so they can become sovereign nations. ie; self-sufficient, and not relying on funds from the gov't any longer, and as a way to keep the u.s. gov't out of our business.\nthere are many, many tribes in the u.s, however, that are so isolated and poor that they can't get into gaming because they are too far off the highways to get any business, and they have so few natural resources, that they have to rely on gov't funding.\nthe land we native ppl live on, was not "given" to us...we were placed on reservations against our will...land that the gov't thought was useless...as it turns out, some of our land is extremely rich in minerals, gold, uranium, oil, etc. and the gov't wants to relocate some tribes in order to "harvest" the resources for their own use...it just never ends.\nfor more detailed info on the mescalero rez go to this website:\nhttp://www.innofthemountaingods.com/about.asp

Why ? If you are an American then you are an immigrant. If you are not FOR immigration then you better hand it over to original Indians. Just because you got comfy comfy so you want to deny it to others?

Well, I havent seen a problem with unequal minority rights in a long time. Im not saying that there arent some racists still out there but the "minority" groups are doing well.  After all have you ever heard of a caucasion college fund???? Probably not. Because that would be racist. But theres nothing wrong with an African American college fund now is there. Now there are plenty of unracial college funds out there as well but still... Oh and I used to live near a reservation and there was this place that was run by the Indians. They would put ads in the local newspaper for job/career opportunities. And then it would say indian preferred at the bottom. Im Irish/Indian and I have no problem with different ethnicities but I have a huge problem with racism and reverse racism.  Oh and in most companies, like the one my dad works at.... There is a mandatory percentage of workers that have to be "minorities" working there. But there is no minority rule for a town where there are fewer whites than blacks. And what about the towns where the white to black ratio is like 99/1. And the "minority demand percentage" is 15%?

I think you should add to your question and let us know if this is involving tribal law on a reservation or in American civil law.

It is the scheduled castes, tribes, backward communities  that have benefited the most from this segregation. When Ambedkar envisaged reservation, he thought that within 40 years of Independence, all the castes would be assimilated and the Hindus will have one homogeneous caste.\n\nToday to the SC, ST, BC have been added minorities who have reservations in every aspect of life, right from preference in schools, to jobs, to everything in life.\n\nIt is said that one man cannot pay for the sin/s of another. The SC, etc say that my forefathers have looted, cheated, commit ed atrocities on them and I should pay for this by giving them various concessions. I have checked up my family history over three generations, I have not come across any case of any atrocity by my forefathers. So I am being paid for crimes that my ancestors never committed, just because appeasement of these segments will win votes for the politicians and assure them another six years in power.\n\nIronical, isn't it Ambedkar started the reservation policy to assimilate his people, all ta-ht it has ended up doing is increased awareness in segregation and chaos in the country!\n\nst

Weren't the Indian's here before anyone??? Anyway...I say let 'em. If they can do it, then so be it. I doubt they'd ever be able to, but if they demanded it, I wouldn't hate them for it. They can do whatever they want, just like the rest of us. Just as long as they don't go to war over it, then I don't see the harm of them CLAIMING anything. Now, taking it, that's a different situation all together....That could get ugly, and I wouldn't want anyone getting hurt...

It's not called discrimination...because some employers have the right to do "ANY" check they would like to do before they hire you. They can do background, credit, income, employer,,,,etc..

Well, I am neither bi-racial or multiracial, but I notice being white I still face discrimination sometimes.  Some people automatically assume I am racist, even though I am so far from it.  For example, the other day at work a Hispanic couple (their race doesn't matter to me, but it illustrates the point) came up to pay for their dinner with a credit card.  Our policy is that we ask everyone for I.D. when they are paying with a card.  It's for their protection, but also because we have seen cases of fraud.  Anyhow, he seemed a little irritated, but he showed me, finished the bill and left.  About 20 minutes later his wife called and spoke to my manager and said that I was being racist asking for I.D. because they were Hispanic.  My manager explained that asking for I.D. is a company policy and that I was only doing what I was told.  She told them next time they came in that they would receive a free dinner.  However, when she hung up, she came and told me she had watched me when they were paying and that I had done absolutely nothing wrong, and that if those people ever came in again to let her know so that she would ask them to leave.  It kinda bothered me because I know I am not racist in the slightest, but I just laughed it off because I knew it was their ignorance and not mine.  Gosh, sorry for making this so long.

Native Americans, there is a huge perception amongst people that all indians recieve money from the US government and from Casinos and are thus very rich.  Both are not true.

so if the program was completely filled with only indians, would you find this discrimination against other races? what if it was only white people, would it make a difference? my best guess at quota systems is that they are designed to prevent racial monopoly. ie all white schools have to let in other racial groups. the whole thing is racism regardless of fairness. no race should create a monopoly in any resource and then block out other races from having equal oppurtunity.  maybe this is not happening in your situation, then im sorry if your being discriminated against
