Just what the natives need to prosper!

Long Chile was a silly place.

Well ,it seems like the Tribes have been selling un federal taxed smokes and offering whisky and gambling to the white man on a reservation near you for the last couple decades. May as well add making their own distilled beverages to that list.

I do say that as ironic, and it is humorous in a way. In no way am I making light of the drug addiction, alcohol abuse, and other major social issue problems of Tribal Government. But actually with the construction jobs, income flow, employment and job training some Tribes have actually improved their position with the Casinos. I do appreciate the irony of the Casinos taking back money from the locals and doing a good job of attracting top acts/concerts to their facilities.

I can't wait for Discovery to have a tribal "Moonshiners" show.
