Poetic Justice: Native American Tribes Across the U.S. are Taking Back their Land

Using casino profits, many Native American tribes across the U.S. are buying back land that once was theirs, and their neighbors aren’t happy about it. Whether the reasoning is a loss of tax dollars or a loss of developable land, many people are outraged by this “land grabbing.”

Newsweek has the story.
