Tribes dont pay taxes because they are a government. Just like any city or county government. It wouldn't be any different than the county buying up right away or the city buying land for a new town hall or park.

However, the businesses which may or may not be owned by the tribe or tribal members have to pay taxes and income earned by the employees and owners of said businesses all pay taxes, so you can all pull your f*ckin' panties out of your manginas.

Everytime I hear some Cracker perpetuate the myth that "Injuns don't pay no taxes" it comes from some Redneck that 9 times out of 10 doesn't pay any themselves.
