Time magazine article
I read the above article a few years ago and found it quite interesting. Seems that most of the Native Americans get shafted on the casino deals, while a few (along with their backers) make out like bandits.

That article is 5 years old. Some of the tribes that I am familiar with have increased their payouts per member 10 fold since that time. Certainly, though, most tribes do not have casinos and there is no inter-tribal revenue sharing for the most part (this is actually a thorny inter-tribal political issue).
I hope you guys are joking about getting on the tribal roll. Some of the comments in this thread are not appropriate.
