Please note that I said well-read LOCAL citizen.  Local folks have the same

The Mohegans were part of the Pequot Tribe in historical times.  Their first 
chief, Uncas (a double-dealing traitor worse than any Benedict Arnold) was 
kicked out of the (Pequot) tribe FIVE times!  The sixth time he came back, he 
brought the white men with him.  With his help, the whites massacree'd the 
wrong village.  (They were looking for Sassacus, they got Momoho.)  Uncas 
didn't care.
Oh, the Mohegan Sun casino is about 5 miles away from Foxwoods, as the crow 
flies.

As long as it goes into the Tribe's coffers, it is NONE of our business any 
further.  It's not your business, not mine, and CERTAINLY not the 
Government's.  Do the Feds oversee what IBM does with it's money?

Well-off, maybe.
