This had never occured to me before I read this post "How many white woman marry native Americans for their benefits?"
Is this seriously an issue because where I live in CA it certainly isn't..........though were to actually meet some vary attractive ones I have always assumed it would be for love.......not for the sake of living on a reservation. So I am curious as to where in the US this is considered an issue and Who it is that has encountered it?

Well folks I had never heard of such a thing either thats why I asked. Look it up on here I was surprised that there were some.
In the states being Native and registered will get you health care a college education but thats about it. If a tribe has done its work and built a casino it can get you a heck of a lot more. It doesn't float down to spouses though, children yes. I have customers that are tribal members of successful casino owning tribes, not to mention all sorts of investments...ie, car dealerships, they get regular large checks and do a lot of charity work as there is no reason for them to work. They do pay taxes...common misconception amongst the public. They just get them on a 1099 and have nothing to offset them.

No one has really answered the question. I am waiting for someone in the states who has encountered it.....perhaps the gentleman who posted the original question.
