they live in casinos
No only 220 tribes own casinos which is only about 39.3% of all tribes and only 8.2% of the total Native American population profit from revenue; and only 1.9% belong to tribes that gross more than $100 million or more annually from the gaming industry.David, Member of The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi
There are 115 Indian casinos.
Indians have their own gaming commissions.
There are currently approximately 400 gaming Indian gaming establishments in the United States. These casinos are operated by approximately 220 federally recognized tribes. The revenues generated in these establishments is close to $18.5 billion.David, Member of The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi
Native Americans have Indian Reservations. These reservations are considered their own place and they don't have to follow all the rules of the united states, because technically Indian Reservations are their own places. They build casinos because casinos are illegal to have (unless in las vegas) because gamballing is technically illegal, but since its on Indian Reservations, it is allowed. They actually make a ton of money from creating these casinos on their Indian Reservations. Hope I helped answer your question.
Tribes are considered Sovereign Nations. States do not have the authority to regulate what tribes do on their own land.
In the state of Michigan, you must be at least 21 years of age to gamble in the commercial casinos in Detroit. The casinos that are run by Native American tribes however, can set their own minimum age, but it can be no less than 18 years of age.
It was a combination of government policies and treaties that made it possible for Native Americans to have their own land, government and constitution on what is know as reservations, casinos offer federally recognized tribes to open Indian gaming so that they have a means to support themselves and to provide for their community with health care, housing law enforcement etc... it replaces normal government taxes that most states and the United states use to support its community. Without taxes America would not have schools, police, fire, medicare etc...David, Member of The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi
