"When people talk about casinos, you must remember 95 percent of all tribes in this country have always put their money back into the states, cities and towns.
They were whalers, fishermen, landowners and business people, and always, for 10,000 years or better, put their money back where their culture and homeland was.
You must be very cautious of outsiders building casinos, for they take the money and use it in other states and casinos elsewhere to benefit others outside of our communities and states."
