No I think most are pretty bad off. I even think they are living in thrid world nation condition. Only a small percent live better than average. THose who made money because their land is located in the right place like near a major city or freeway where they could make a huge profit from casinos and those who's land is on top of a large oil reserve. I think that people over exaggerate the casino money.

Do you mean the money and benefits they get from being native american?
No that doesnt make them well off. You ( and I mean you as in all of us as individuals ) are the only people that can make ourselves well off.
I have had Navajo and Eskimo friends who got tribal grant money. Its nice to have but it certainly isnt making you rich.
Now if you are in a tribe that splits profits from some kind of gambling like a casino I dont know maybe you are doing better.

In Canada they have it made,but continue to want more.They pay for very little.If you live on a reserve you get free medical,free dental,free housing, free collage/university education,they pay no taxes and complain that it is not enough. Why are we still paying for sins committed by people 100's of years ago? Why am I paying when I had nothing to do with it? It is time they learned what the real world is like and stopped living for free and excepted responsibility for themselves.
