An arguable point of law but in the great scheme of things a small recompense for the loss of the whole of North America to white settlers with guns.
Indian's believe (incorrectly) that they own the land known as the reservation, and that they are separate nations so they have a right to run their nation as they want. This of course is false as the US Government owns the land and holds it in trust for the tribe and, all tribes must become a "state" under the United States as part of the BIA recognition process. So, the USA passed the "Indian Gaming Regulatory Act" 25 USC 2701, to allow tribes to operate casino's and the like.
