You are the idiot. The Lakotas did not receive ANY federal help, food or funding until WELL into the 70s. Their sacred land is STILL being taken from them for Uranium mining.

The U.S. government has given them almost NOTHING to survive on. ( Ever plant corn in the desert? lol )

What they make from NOT taxing others for air ports, gambling, gifts, cigarettes travel, etc, brings in LOTS more cash than taxing their own citizens.

Or if you think it's a stupid idea, why not any Alaskan who is PAYED BY THE GOVERNMENT to live in Alaska. LOL

Know what you're talking about before posting nonsense like that.

Aho!
