There are no Casino's or Tobacco sales allowed on the Rosebud and Pine
Ridge Reservations. They are the 2 poorest reservations on the face of
the earth. Alcoholism, Drugs and gang warfare are the norm. Please get
your facts straight. Your US Government has screwed those people to the
wall. Our South Dakota Government and people have long tried to make
things better for those people., but those reservations are just too
large for our means. Those reservations have a massive crime rate and
more murders percentage wise that any major city. But there are also
some of the finest Indian folks on the face of the earth there. In many
parts of the reservations there isn't even electricity or navigatible
roads in the winter. Many Indians commit petty crimes off the
Reservation in the fall so they can sit it out in a warm jail in the
winter. Look at a reservation map of South Dakota and see how large a
portion of the state belongs strictly to the Indians. You don 't have to
repair furnaces and AC's there. They don't have any!
