    America's richest Indian tribe has 99.2 per cent unemployment -- and it's all voluntary, tribal leaders boast.
    There's little need for any member of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Tribe to work. Each adult in the 460-person American Indian nation receives more than $1million a year - for doing nothing.
    The payouts are the windfall from lucrative casinos and resorts that the tribe runs on its reservation in Scott County - about 45 minutes southwest of Minneapolis-St Paul.

    I've had a discussion once with someone about how there was not really a stigma for being Native Americans; compare to Afrodescendants for example. The reason being is nearly every White American I met, said they had Native American ancestry or has a Pocohantas princess grandmother.
    But don't get me wrong, I think the Government should do more to expand the wealth of Natives Americans, especially in the Western U.S. It would be good to see like the Natives in the article above, the wealth extended into all Native American communities, even the ones in Mexico.
    There are even people in this forum who prefer Native American genes to Africandescents ones. The only people who can truly grasp this stigma are Afrodescendants, since those are the people pushed to the back of discussion, unlike Europeans and Natives.

    Very few white Americans have Native blood. It's become a tradition in most families to claim some distant descent, but it's all bullshit.
