Why does anyone stay near their families? Because it's their way. Some leave and come back with tools and ideas to help. But as Russel says in the video, the laws and the Bureaucrats make it nearly impossible. Then you have the Casinos that pull the tribal members into that lifestyle along with "guaranteed income..." This guaranteed income from the tribe because of the gambling and liquor profits serve also to tie them into the Rez. Golden handcuffs + Family + Culture and you have them tied in to the rez. It sucks

Are you saying that each person gets a check from the profits of the casino, and if they buy a house off the reservation they will no longer get it?

No - I'm saying the ones I know from the Rez aren't motivated to move off the Rez because the check makes them comfy where they are.
