Just looked it up talk about a guarantee income:i beg to differ with the casinos the Seminoles are doing just fineWhen were we a nation of laws?
In Worcester v. Georgia, 31 U.S. 515 (1832), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Cherokee Nation was sovereign. According to the decision rendered by Chief Justice John Marshall, this meant that Georgia had no rights to enforce state laws in its territory.[34]President Andrew Jackson decided not to uphold the ruling of this case, and directed the expulsion of the Cherokee nation. U.S. Army forces were used in some cases to round them up. Their expulsion and subsequent route is called "The Trail of Tears." Of the 15,000 who left, 4,000 died on the journey to "Indian Territory" in the present-day U.S. state of Oklahoma.[35]

Q: A short time back, a front-page article regarding the Seminole tribe planning to buy Hard Rock International contained a comment about 'sharing the wealth.' It stated that there are hundreds of Seminoles living on tribal land in Immokalee, all of whom share in the wealth of gaming and other business ventures. Is there any information as to how much this sharing might be in terms of annual income?

A: Each member of the Seminole Tribe of Florida, even children, now receives a monthly dividend check of $7,000, or $84,000 annually, as his or her share of money made mostly from casinos. The Seminoles have about 3,300 members living on and off Florida reservations.
The Seminoles' purchase of the Hard Rock franchise can only translate to even greater wealth for its members.
More than 90 percent of the tribe's budget comes from gaming. In addition to its two Seminole Hard Rock hotels and casinos, the Seminole Tribe owns and operates five other casinos in Florida. The seven casinos reportedly generated more than $1 billion in total revenue last year.
U.S. Indian tribes now have more than $22 billion in annual revenues from gaming, according to government figures.
