You can't even make this argument in Canada. The worst thing done to First Nations, the absolute worst, is that they were made wards of the state in exchange for their land (they all signed on to the treaties except for a tiny handful in BC and they now, apparently, are being given back their land).
Literally every problem of the First Nations in Canada can be summarised by the phrase "I'm from the government and I'm here to help".
Millions upon millions of dollars are given to each and every native tribe. Most of the time, the chieftain keeps it, adds it to the money pool in the basement of their mansion, and laughs as the languishing citizens drink gasoline.
You'd be shocked how much of their Tribal money ends up in Las Vegas. It draws Natives like a magnet, apparently.
Tribal councils have meetings in Vegas... all expenses paid of course.
A few years back? Our Provincial 'Council of Chiefs' had their annual meeting not in our Convention Center, but in one in Vegas! They may be doing that every year, idk.
