These people that now claim to be “Natives” all drive cars, live in houses, and appear to be white. I don’t wanna hear it from these clowns anymore. (This is coming from someone with 1/8th Native in their blood)

You aren’t native either. None of us are, some of us just got here earlier than others. This argument about being indigenous or native is dumb. We all come from somewhere in Africa as a species. Most American Indian cultures are guilty of the same shite of fricking up other tribes and even making some disappear from existence. They just couldn’t compete in survival of the fittest when the Europeans crossed the pond.

In Wisconsin that would entitle you to a monthly or quarterly cut of the casino profits depending on which tribe you were a member of. And it's not exactly chump change either.

While Ho-Chunk adults get a $12,000 annual dividend payout made in four installments, children have to wait for the money, which builds in a trust fund throughout their childhoods and is given in one lump sum after they turn 18 and earn a high school diploma.

ETA: I'm not sure if 1/8 would get you the full cut noted above, but I believe my dad's wife is 1/10 or something and gets some money.
