Cherokee show greed toward other tribes

To the Editor:

The entire article on the Cherokee suing over the Catawba casino proves that the only reason for the Cherokee to object to the Catawba casino is greed. If they would make money from it, there would be no objections. They did the same to prevent a casino in coastal North Carolina. And the non-N.C. Cherokee need to stay out of N.C. affairs. This can easily be settled. Allow non-native run casinos in the state. Besides, the Cherokee casino is not even owned by a state corporation.
