Native Americans

1. Use evidence to describe the economic impact of casino ownership and gambling on Native American tribes.
There was really wasn't an economic impact on the Native American tribes. About 48 Indian tribes that own casinos make about 10 million a year. But some casino don't make as much some only make up to 1 million a year.



2. What is the most significant problem of trying to understand the condition of the modern Native American population?
The most significant problem is that most of the Native American population in the U.S. is poor. Contrary to popular belief not all Native American don't own casinos




3. In what ways are Native Americans a unique minority group in the United States? Do these reasons seem justified today, or should Native Americans be considered as a "regular" minority group (like African Americans, Asian Americans, women, etc.)?
Because, this is their native land and we took them over forced them off their land and forced them into reservations and stuff like that. I think they should be classified as a regular minority group because they are just a minority group nothing different from the other ones.




4. Please find 4 specific examples of the sorts of events generalized in this paragraph. For each specific example, include a hyperlink to a website explaining the specific event, and a summary of that event.










5. What is meant by the phrase 'diseases of the poor'? What is the relationship between economics and health implied by that phrase?
Things that usually happin with the poor, such as actual diseases, turning to alcohol and eventually alcoholism, the things that are similar with the economics and health implied is that bad health is usualy connected with the poor.






6. Is John McCain correct in his assessment of the treatment of Native Americans? Why?
Yes i kinda think he is right, maybe instead of putting them into reservations all the time actually let them do what they want.



7. Please define each of the following terms in the context of Native American policy:
All of these terms pretty much boil down to that we have treated them badly, sent them to places without there permission. Just other ways to get rid of them so there no longer a problem.

* removal
* allotment
* termination
* relocation
* assimilation
* self determination



8. Finally, give a paragraph summary on what self determination means, and why it either is, or is not, the appropriate policy for Native American people with respect to the Federal government.
Self determination is pretty much the will to keep on going even when things look grim. This is an appropriate mood for the Native American because if they didn't have it, they would have probably be a lot worse than they are now. If they didn't have it they would probably have given up by now, they probably wouldn't have casinos.
