If you read that paper correctly all you saw was a few casual remarks
on a topic that was dropped as fast as it arose and was never at any
time addressed seriously in that document. To infer anything from
what was said is, IMHO, foolish at best.

As I remember, gambling on reservations had almost that/those humble
beginnings ...

It is clear, in my personal opinion, the FCC would have NO interest in
rf levels on the reservation, and ONLY those leaving the borders of the
reservation would EVER come into question ...

Jim:

Let me go a bit further on this. I happen to have a sister who works
for Child Protective Services in California (CPS.)

If you are Indian (even part) and CPS pays you a visit, and you ARE
Indian, they must immediately back down and defer to the Indian Council
on the reservation/tribe which the person in question is a member of ...
that individual is NOT subject to the same laws you or I would be.

Let me go a bit further:
If you are Indian, the welfare agency will provide "different" benefits
to you than some others. Indeed, the Washoe Tribe of California and
Nevada "chip in" and provide you with "expanded" benefits and medical
assistance.

The above was/were gleaned though discussions with my sister over time
.... anyone interested can investigate for themselves. I am intrigued by
the fact the Indians care for their own so well; I would be interested
in knowing more.

Regards,
JS
