I have a friend that paid a lot of money for a house and land and the other home owners built a private road, they gave the reservation nearby permission to use the private road. Soon after they tried to open a casino, my friends peaceful life up in the mountains turned into beer bottles being thrown from cars, cigarettes being thrown and on and on.
She said most of the folks trying to benefit from the casino are not native americans, they are being used. The bad thing is if a crime happens there its hard for local law enforcement to get involved. She is pretty upset about the whole thing, when she bought the land she use to say, "its near a reservation, isn't that cool"
I just don't believe our current rights need to be walked all over for something that happened to a group long ago. I also think that sign sounds horrible!
