No, Browning, in Montana. I used to live in Great falls - about 2-1/2 hours away but it is on the way to Glacier National Park. Just driving through you can tell when you enter and leave the reservation.
They do pay a certain amount to the state of CT, being the moochy state it is. But that fluctuates from year to year, based on the casino's take that year. But they do just fine. The reservations, though, they just keep perpetuating the dependency on the government for their suteneance. Ask RockyMountainPirate. A Rez is near to Pirate's domicile.
Why stop with Native Americans? Let's teach Eskimos to re-learn how to build igloos. Why stop with humans? Let's teach cranes to swallow. Wolves to hunt in packs. Russians to stop invading other countries. (Sorry, Russians are human, not too sure about their leader, though.)
They don't even do the little stuff, like car registration, they have their own DMV systems, their own insurance requirements (if any), etc. It's a government to government relationship.
Many close friends of my family are tribal leaders at Leech Lake Chippewa in Minnesota, from the horses mouth, if someone in the tribe is in poverty, they choose to be... they get thousands in supplemental aid each year (each), free medical, free dental, free optical, tribal income from gambling, free education, and free scholarships to any level of higher education they want. The ones that take advantage of those opportunities are -very- well off... the ones that don't, usually choose to drink it down.
None of the tribes is actually poor, they just waste all the money they get. Remember, they are their own sovereign nations: any revenue they generate from casinos, etc. they get to keep tax-free. That's besides the millions they get from the US government every year.
Lived in Great Falls. Been to Browning and that is where my PI friend did his business. It was unfortunate that he never lacked for things to do... He also commented that a big part of his job (even being ex-military) was knowing where NOT to go...
There's just one thing: to live with technology is to depend on that technology. I wonder whether the BLM know what they're doing--or whether their training would be beneficial. Anyone who can truly subsist away from the "technological network," or "The Grid,": would ipso facto be better able to make revolution, or at least subsist during the worst effects of someone else's revolution.
Recall that, after John Galt makes his three-hour speech, at least (by my estimate) hundreds of thousands of people decamp from society and build militia-like camps in forested and similar "undeveloped" regions of the country. Regions that the demoralized United States Army do not dare investigate.

Oh! you mean AMERICAN ABORIGINES or TRIBAL AMERICANS.
We love Northern California. If I could live on the Left Coast that's where I'd be.
