re: Adaptation
Hey, I was born in South Dakota, and got a pretty good idea which end of the shit stick the Indians got handed. I had one or two relatives that talked about them the same way people used to talk about black people in the Old South.
Frankly, I hope they get richer than hell off the casinos. They sure have it coming. I also hope (somewhat forlornly) that the money actually trickles down to where it can be put to good use. Some tribes are doing better at this than others.
