Right now, this area is very depressed. There is high unemployment, poverty and our health and social needs are not being met. We need something viable that can sustain us and help us move on.
We're starting to get some more revenue from our casinos, but right now our needs are so great that we need to find other sources of revenue to help get us to where we need to be.
We need more scholarships and vocational training programs. We have to be able to get our kids to school and then not forget about them. We need to do all that we can to get them educated and then keep them here if we are going to thrive as a tribe.
If we had the money, we could do a lot.
This could be built on our land and help our people.
