Only Proposition 202 has the support of 17 Arizona tribes and continues the current compact with the State. Under that compact, the state gets a good chunk of money from the indigenous tribes.
Arizona voters will select a proposition when they vote on Nov. 5, while voting for governor and other State offices, as well as for some Congressional (U.S. Representative) positions.
It is ironic that non-Natives think the tribes should share their money with the State, considering non-Natives never shared their money with the Natives all these years, and this whole land belonged to the Natives, who were never paid for it.
In Federal Court right now, a class-action lawsuit is continuing by Native people from across the United States for money owed, from the past 150 years or more, to their families for mineral and land leases of Native land through the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and the Federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
