Chapter 1220: Can You Lose This Last Trembling?
Then the newly recognized Indian tribes will take back their land, which is usually not large, but that's enough. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
You must know that this policy was implemented relatively late, and as early as a hundred years ago, the massacre of Indians by whites caused the population of Indians to plummet, and even now, the number of Indians in the United States is only more than 2 million, accounting for less than 1% of the total population of the United States.
In addition, many Indians, because they could not bear the poverty of living in the reservation, most of them were exiled to the outside, and have gradually integrated into the mainstream society of the United States, so even if there are still some tribes now, the population of these tribes is not large.
By now, the most populous Indian tribes in the United States, namely the Avajo and Cheyenne, and the number of pure Indians in their tribe is only tens of thousands.
There are now a total of 561 recognized Indian tribes in the United States, of which more than 500 tribes have a total population of less than 10,000 people, and such small tribes, even if they are confirmed as territories, their territory is just a mountain, or a small village of hundreds of acres.
The U.S. government is still quite potty about this, after all, their population is too small, so what's the harm in giving them a little favor and plugging their mouths?
What's more, these Indians' own lands are also allowed by the U.S. Department of Justice to practice, their own legal system, they have their own police, their own law enforcement system, even if the Indians are caught, if they apply, they will be locked up in the Indians' own prisons, so it is still very cost-effective to do something illegal in their territory, because the cost of crime where is very low.
So don't look at the fact that the number of Indians in the United States is very small, and the power does not seem to be large, but in fact, their strength behind the scenes is not weak at all, especially in politics.
Many politicians with dirty backgrounds in the United States launder money through their casinos, so their power is actually very large.
And although Jin Muchen didn't understand it this time, he basically guessed at this time, presumably Jesse found Meilanda, and in front of these wealthy second generations, he pretended to be the leader of a small Indian tribe in California.
And this leader is fooling these second generations, saying that their tribe is still a tribe that has not been recognized by the Indian Affairs Administration in Washington, but they are now pleading with Washington, and they have submitted a proposal.
Once their proposal is passed, they will be able to take back their territory, which happens to be in the Red River Valley.
This is amazing, this red river valley was originally a pastoral area where birds don't and not many people know about it, but now this place is about to become a hidden gold zone.
Think about this place, it is only less than two hours' drive from Los Angeles, that is, more than 100 kilometers away, if there is such a legal casino in this place, then those gamblers in Los Angeles still need to go all the way to Las Vegas?
And on the left-hand side of this place, an hour's drive away, is the city of Santa Barbara, which is the famous Gold Resort Coast in California, most famous for its white sand beaches, and every year there are countless American bigwigs, dragging their families from all over the United States to vacation in vacation villas here.
And if such a casino is opened in this Red River Valley at this time, will those big guys still need to go to Las Vegas to play?
On the right hand side is Bakersfield, California's transportation hub, although the people of Santa Barbara are not as wealthy as the people, but it is a transportation hub, almost all the vehicles and trucks that cross California from south to north have to change from there, and there are hundreds of thousands of people passing by there every day.
If you cut out some of the people to come to the Red River Valley, hehe, then the casinos here are not profitable?
So even if everyone suspects that this woman is a liar, but at this time, you can't help but be careful, what if what this woman says is true?
So this Meilanda entered the circle of these second generations, and now it seems that these second generations have been completely fooled by her.
Think about it, it's hard to think about these second generations even if they don't want to get excited, the casino in the Indian land, this is a better place than Las Vegas, who doesn't want a stake in such a casino?
Make sure you don't lose money, and you can help yourself deal with a lot of troubles, and anyone is willing to want shares in such a casino.
So at this time, they were not excited, it must be impossible, and just as they were cheering, Meilanda on the other side coughed.
"Guys, now is not the time to be happy, in a week, Washington will send a doctor to come to our side to test the DNA, you know, our community is small and scattered, some people are making a living on the East Coast right now, and they don't mix very well. It takes a lot of effort to get in touch with these people one by one and get them back on time. And some people, as you know, just like to raise the bar, and if you give them enough benefits, they will be more willing to come and tear you down. In addition, after all, the number of people in our ethnic group is very small, and after so many years, the bloodline is definitely not as pure as before, so when there is a lot of DNA identification, it is the kind of test that can be wrong or not. This requires public relations for those medical identification teams, which require money... ”
When Meilanda said this, Jin Muchen understood their methods of cheating money, that is, she wanted to use the eagerness of these second generations to make them pay for it voluntarily.
At the end of the 90s of the last century, the U.S. government established the Indian Affairs Administration, which is basically managed by the leaders elected by the current large Indian tribes in the United States.
And the remnants of the Indians in the United States, seeing the benefits of the new Indian administration law, began to set up their own doors, claiming to be an independent tribe, and then demanding that the state return their lands.
At the beginning, the Indian Administration, basically didn't care whether what these people said was true or false, and directly recognized their identity as an Indian descendant, and then helped them get back a lot of territory from Congress, and those Indians did have a lot of advantages at that time.
But then those guys became more and more greedy, and this Indian Administration was beaten by the White House, so they had to be cautious, if a new Indian came to ask for recognition that they once had an independent tribe, then they had to be strict about their bloodline, to put it bluntly, verify your DNA, see if you are a liar, someone from another Indian tribe came to impersonate, or simply a close relative of that tribe, not a representative of that tribe.
Anyway, medicine in the United States is very developed, people have already built a gene bank of their domestic population, and the DNA of all Indian tribes has also been recorded.
And after so many years, after hundreds of years of repression, and poverty, how many Indians in the United States dare to say that they are purebred Indians?
In their blood, even if they are not mixed with the blood of white people, there are many of them mixed with the blood of other Indian tribes, so if you want to say pure, there are few pure ones at all.
At this time, when testing the DNA of these Indians, it depends on the attitude of those medical testing teams, and their attitude depends on the intention of the top level of the Indian Affairs Administration, or the sincerity of the local request to test the Indians.
If you are sincere enough, then they will naturally have a way to make you a descendant of the Indian tribe you speak of, so that you can be recognized by the Indian Affairs Administration, and finally be able to obtain approval from Congress to take back your own territory.
And at this time, Meilanda has already made it so clear that if she is really tested, she may not even be able to afford the clansmen first, and even if she can afford it, she may not be able to pass the test 100%, and she also needs to give those who are identified a layer of 'insurance', and these insurances cost money, but she has no money.
At this time, everyone needs to support and help, and for Chris, the second generation, what are they asking for the high-speed rail to pass through the Red River Valley?
Isn't it just that after taking this land, even if the land is transferred to these Indians and taken away by the Indians, they can get the shares of the casinos in the Indians' own land?
This person who went to worship the Buddha walked ninety-nine steps, is it possible that it will be a long time to miss the last trembling?
Anyway, as long as this land can be guaranteed, it will be classified as an Indian reservation in the hands of Meilanda, and as long as the casino is opened, then everyone's upfront investment will be earned back in minutes.
How can you miss such a good investment opportunity, don't look at the current spending seems to be a lot, but compared with the return that can be brought to them in the future, what is this investment?
So just a moment later, Meilanda's mobile phone rang one after another with the prompt sound of bank deposit... (To be continued.) )
