3) Jesus! they can stick this up their ass as far as i'm concerned...

Two Tribes

A pair of Sir Elton John’s signature high-heeled boots. … Jimmy Hendrix’s
Flying V guitar. One of Madonna’s bustiers. A bevy of pick-chipped six-strings
previously owned by rock legends like Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton – and one
American Indian tribe owns them all.

In 2006, the Seminoles of Florida purchased the Hard Rock Café from the
Britain-based company Rank Group PLC for an estimated $965 million.
The unprecedented deal includes more than 120 Hard Rock Cafés and
four Hard Rock Hotels as well as two Hard Rock Live! concert venues.

The Seminole Tribe of Florida, who has 2,000 enrolled members, also
acquired in the deal one of the largest collections of rock memorabilia found
anywhere in the world. The collection is said to include approximately 70,000
items of music nostalgia.

The Seminoles of Florida were the first American Indian tribe to establish a
casino on Indian land more than 30 years ago.

But for other Indians nations, like the Oglala Lakota of Pine Ridge, South Dakota,
money is scarce and poverty is rampant.

Located about 80-miles southeast of Mount Rushmore in the isolated Badlands,
Pine Ridge is home to some of America’s most impoverish families. Unemployment
is 80-percent. Approximately 49-percent of its residents live below the federal poverty
line and per capita income fluctuates between $4,000 and $6,000.

Out of the estimated 400 to 500 homes on Pine Ridge, 150 homes and trailers
are without running water or electricity.

And although the Oglala Lakota people own and operate a casino—the Prairie
Wind Casino, the revenue stream it brings is crumbs in comparison to Seminole
casinos. “The tribe itself has absolutely no money. No capital. We’re just surviving,”
said Oglala District Chairman Floyd Brings Plenty. “The Lakota people have no
revenue to build new homes, said that there are also no jobs on Pine Ridge.
As temperatures begin to plummet, people are struggling to just to stay warm
in what is often dilapidated housing, he said.
