| Native Americans still poorest in Nation |

Not all Native Americans are swimming in casino profits. Bush has yet to visit ONE Indian reservation! He doesn't give a shit! http://indianz.com/News/2006/015687.asp |

| 1. Casino funds are not evenly distributed |

through out the tribe, at least not Ojibwa and Lakota. In order to get Casino funds one must belong to a certain band of that tribe. In Minnesota I believe they are Mdawakaton(sp) for Lakota and Ahnishbe'(sp) for Ojibwa. So while members of these particular bands are doing very well, from what I have been told they get around $1000 a month per person in trust from birth, the rest of the tribe lives in abject poverty either in inner city ghettos or on reservations like Red Lake.
