It looks like another Indian casino is on the way.
The Shinnecock Indian Nation of Southampton, Long Island, a place best known as a summer retreat for wealthy Manhattan cliff dwellers, received final recognition from the federal government Tuesday as an official Indian tribe.
That acknowledgement clears the way for its members to finally achieve their long-sought goal of a casino which they say is vital for their economic well-being.
...
Wonder where all these folks are getting the money to throw away at yet another casino within driving distance, but it ain't my money so have at it.
It's good they're finally getting formal recognition by the country that screwed him like the rest of the Native-Americans but I don't think the best thing for tribes is to indulge the White Man's vices (although I do get cheap smokes at the tribe right down the road from the Shinnecocks).
