MOHAVE VALLEY (PART 3)

ARE YOU STILL READING THE MOHAVE VALLEY SERIES? PROBABLY NOT, BUT I’LL CONTINUE ANYWAYS.

TODAY THE FORT MOHAVE INDIAN TRIBE IS A FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED SOVEREIGN INDIAN NATION WITH 32,000 ACRES OF LAND IN ARIZONA, NEVADA, AND CALIFORNIA IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF MOHAVE VALLEY. THE TRIBE’S UPBEAT ECONOMY PROVIDES THOUSANDS OF JOBS. THEY HAVE THE HIGHEST GROSSING CONVINCE STORE IN ARIZONA, NO DOUBT BECAUSE OF THEIR TAX FREE CIGARETTE SALES, THEY OPERATE THREE CASINOS IN THE VALLEY, INCLUDING THE AVI RESORT AND CASINO WHERE WE WORK, THEY HAVE THEIR OWN TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, A CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF COURSE, RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISIONS, WHERE YOU GET A 99 YEAR LEASE AND NEVER OWN THE LAND YOUR HOUSE SITS ON, AN AGRICULTURE COMPANY WITH MANY BEAUTIFUL IRRIGATED FIELDS OF ALFALFA AND COTTON, A TRIBAL POWER COMPANY COMPLETE WITH A MODERN GENERATING PLANT, AND THE INDOOR ARENA. TODAY THE TRIBE HAS ABOUT 1200 MEMBERS.

SICK OF INDIANS, ME TOO, LET’S MOVE ON.
