Coho,

I would think the Tulalip Tribes might have wanted that $1.26 million to go to Quil Ceda and/or Tulalip elementary instead of the high school. As stated in a previous conversation the test scores for those two elementary schools are atrocious.

If the Tulalip Tribes have the money to donate to those organizations...on and off the Reservation, then they have enough money that a U.S. Government Grant isn't needed.

The entire point I was trying to convey in my initial post is that the Tribe, with the amount of money rolling in through both of their casinos should be autonomous, and be able to cover the funds needed for their Tribal Police, and social programs.
