Life for the Dakota tribe was not always this prosperous, however theirs is a rags to riches story. In 2012, the Shakopee tribe donated millions of dollars toward the welfare of other Native American tribes as well as six local governments.
Court records indicate that each adult in the tribe earns $84,000 monthly, adding up to a handsome personal income over a million dollars per year. The Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota tribe in Minnesota is one of the wealthiest tribal nations in the United States, thanks to its two thriving casinos.
