I just saw something on tv the other day about the Seminole nation (Florida
Indian tribe) owning the Hard Rock Cafe chain. Just checked in on
wikipedia - yep, they bought it at the end of last year. Plus, the
Seminoles never signed a peace treaty with the US Gov. - means they were
never all beaten and subjected to reservations.
Probably the richest tribe of First Nations people.
