Sovereign nations everywhere must come together in unity to protect their nations from the onslaught of attack by outsiders who want to manipulate the system. Their goal is to destroy and take over smaller nations so they can benefit from the protections afforded to these tribal nations. In the process, the existence, history, culture, traditions and so much more will be lost to future generations and eventually lost altogether.
Some states fear tribal nations having their own casinos and the control of same. It's a two-edged sword. While tribal casinos can bring in a lot of money to help the tribal nation improve the lifestyle of their people with better housing, educational opportunities, health facilities, etc., it also gives the tribe more political clout and this is the last thing many of those who currently hold the reigns of power want.
Right now, they are after the CA MIWOK - it could be your tribal nation next. Show solidarity and support for the MIWOK people. Contact your representatives, senators, tribal representatives in government, etc and tell them no way - that what is being attempted with the MIWOK will not be tolerated and to put an end to it now.
