If you are actually 50% then you qualify for financial interest in any gaming on your land. Why would you not want to be a rich mf'er?

The Rosebud tribe does own a casino. I suppose I would get some money out of it, if there was ever an excess of cash.
Being located in South Dakota limits the revenue a bit. It's the middle of nowhere. Casinos in Florida or Connecticut and so on have a much easier time attracting patrons.
For now, all tribal gambling revenue is being used for things like schools, roads, power grids, and other vital infrastructure concerns.
I have an awesome photo of my great-grandmother in native regalia, taken around the 1920's or so. Will see if I can get it scanned in and loaded up somewhere. Fascinating picture.
