We respect the right of Native American tribes to operate commercial enterprises, and the right of licensed distributors to supply them with legal products. But in conducting commerce with non-Native American consumers, everyone in the supply chain should play by the same rules, including collecting state and local taxes.

Lo! the poor Indian whose unsuited mind Saw death be.
Ambrose Bierce
The scope of the tribe's request involves the entire facility. Something of that magnitude seems to me to warrant a community conversation.
Martin Wilk
It's like some kind collective hallucination — they dress like shepherds in the Bible, and they think they are creating a Judean state in which the Palestinians are the enemy tribes you have to fight forever. It not only doesn't fit with the ideals of a modern state, it doesn't even fit with the original ideals of the settlers themselves.

Mark Daniels
Tribes have a very unique status. Congress can pass laws that affect just Indian tribes. They've always been part of the political process _ not just giving money, but in a lot of ways. To suggest that it is just to protect their economic interests simply is not true.

Ambrose Bierce
The idea that CNIGA should be drafting or crafting anything that binds other tribes in terms of compact negotiations is pretty transparent to me. It's the big tribes that don't want other tribes to get compacts. They want to control that process.
Larry Stidham
It is no good for somebody in the entertainment business like myself to back romantic, telegenic causes abroad, such as jeopardised tribes' peoples, noble political prisoners, and cute, endangered animals, if you do not also try and do something for the homeless on your own streets. Even if those homeless are at times supremely unpicturesque, occasionally ignoble and not at all cute.
Alexei Sayle

Tom Shields
The situation is already grave, if not grotesque, ... And to facilitate this by making drinking facilities more widely available is close to lunacy. It simply means that our towns and city centers are abandoned every night to tribes of pugnacious, drunk, noisy, vomiting louts.
Charles Harris

Diane Feinstein
What the tribes are dealing with, it's not a pretty picture. One of the things we want to do is support [the police] and try to bring about the unmet needs that these tribal law enforcement deserve and should have, since they're on the front lines standing in harm's way day in and day out; and we owe them as much to have all the resources they need to do their jobs.
Robert Holden
He is essentially equating Indian tribes as special interests along the lines of trial lawyers and the pharmaceutical industry.

Ray Bradbury
If there was another way to make the money ... whatever it takes to allow this tribe or any tribe not to be under the gun looking for federal government funds - most tribes and tribal chairmen would do that.

Glenn Marshall
Society is now one polished horde, - Formed of two mighty tribes, the Bores and Bored.

Mark Emery
We were poor, almost totally dependent on the federal government for subsistence. And that's not good for a people to have to depend on someone else. It tears at your spirit.

Chief Joyce Dugan
We're sympathetic that there's going to be some economic impact on the tribes.
