Sort of ridiculous anyways. Having worked in the gaming industry for many years I have seen a large variety of reservations to the point where I can tell you going to see one won't qualify to say you have seen living conditions on a reservation. That would be like saying I have been to New York City so I know how Americans live. Some tribes have members living in 30-year old trailers while others keep their old trailers as reminders of what they survived before as they now live in a modern 3000sf house. Its all varieties and of course smoke shops and casinos are a big part of determining how well off the tribes are. But in any case just find a tribe to visit by asking them nicely if you can come by and tell them why you want to visit. You might have to drive awhile though I can imagine some tribes not liking the idea, but I am sure you will find one here or in Arizona who would like to share a positive view.

Very good reply. All they gotta do is ask. I can't imagine how this will benefit the tribe though. But maybe we don't have all the information on the course, or the reason for writing about them.
