>>so this is like when you have a trust fund and the administrator runs around spending your money, and maybe just maybe he gives your monthly allowance? just checking to see if i'm clear on the concept.<<

Yeah, pretty good analogy, except that this land was taken from them, not left to them. and they never get the allowance.

>>on the red tape and difficulties native american tribes had to go
through to be "allowed" to start a business. i don't save magazines so i wouldn't be able to retrieve it, but it sounds like you might have some knowledge of the issue. <<

Native American stuff is interesting. They have a sort of nation within a nation status. They are allowed basic self-government as long as they comply with national and (I think) state laws. Not sure about the state. Don't know much about businesses. Many tribes are allowed to have legal gambling, which is often illegal in the rest of the state. A number of tribes have made a decent living in this way.

>>erhaps they could be considered big boys and girls now
and "be given" control of it. <<

Would be nice, but there are the problems of the "white man's burden." I don't think it will happen on a large scale. Some compromise will be found in which the natives, once again, are given the shaft.
