What ignorance
Anyone can go through the history books and pick out ugly events on a race or society. The fact that you did this regarding Indian culture is sad and speaks to your values as an American.
The fact is the Indians were never given a chance to infuse themselve into American culture because we Americans saw them as savages and could not understand thier culture. So we ran them from their land and almost brought the Indians to extintion.
You make it sound like we should of killed them all off so we wouldn’t have the burden to decide today if we should allow Indians the right to thrive as Americans. Whether you agree with gambling or not, this is not a proper argument against the proposed casino.
