Stereotype of the Month Entry
(1/6/03)


Another Stereotype of the Month entry:

Chronicle Political Cartoon by Tom Meyer

Rob's comment
This cartoon implies California's Indians want land only for casinos, which is untrue. Whether a tribe wants it to build homes, start commercial enterprises, host landfills or toxic waste dumps, or use it as collateral to secure loans, land is a valuable asset.
