Civil War
1. Use evidence to describe the economic impact of casino ownership and gambling on Native American tribes.
That might surprise Americans who have consumed countless cheery feature stories about Indians making big bucks on casino gambling. Some tribes -- like the Mashantucket Pequots of Connecticut, who own Foxwoods, the country's largest casino -- have indeed gotten very rich. But less than a quarter of America's 557 Indian tribes own casinos, and only 48 tribes earn more than $10 million a year on gaming.
2. What is the most significant problem of trying to understand the condition of the modern Native American population?
Because there were so many people. It is impossible to generalize about 2 million people who belong to more than 500 different tribes, each with its own history, each living in different circumstance. It was hard because everyone has a different past, and had different experiences, so in conclusion it would be wrong for people to say things about Native Americans as a whole, because they are all different, in so many ways.
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.)?
As such, they constitute the only minority group in America that has signed peace treaties with the U.S. government, the only ethnic group with a government agency -- the Bureau of Indian Affairs -- specifically devoted to its well-being. Native Americans are the oldest tribal people that are her in the United States. I do believe that they should be justified as a regular minority group, even though it's not a proper way to describe this great tribal group, I do think it is the right thing to do.
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.

4. "Any objective observer would say that our treatment of Native Americans is a national disgrace."

5. What is meant by the phrase 'diseases of the poor'? What is the relationship between economics and health implied by that phrase?
This phrase showed the current condition of native Indian Americans.The economical condition of native Americans are not too good, and also not only that, but they have to go through various discrimination and hatred. When it's a situation dealing with the health of Native American Indians, it comes down to it where they are far more able to succumb to diseases associated with the poor -- four times as likely to die of alcoholism, three times as likely to die of tuberculosis, and nearly twice as likely to die of diabetes.
6. Is John McCain correct in his assessment of the treatment of Native Americans? Why?
I do think that John McCain is correct when he says "Any objective observer would say that our treatment of Native Americans is a national disgrace." The United States government never really treated them in a honorable manner, and as of today, they are going through the worst economical and political time that they have never experienced.
7. Please define each of the following terms in the context of Native American policy:
Ans-Native American self determination refers to the series of social movements, legislation, and beliefs that support the ability of the tribes of native Americans in the USA to have a greater level of self-governance and decision making in affairs that affect their own people. Self-Determination's primary goal was and still is to reverse the paternalistic policies enacted upon Native American tribes since the creation of the tribal system and to enact and enforce new legislation that enables Native Americans to control their own affairs And i agree with this system because it should help Native tribes to lead a modern government administrative pathway.
