Is there any evidence that the apparent increase in American Indian Tribes' ownership of loan companies (some of which might justifiably be called 'loan-shark' lenders) and gambling casinos, either of which also serve Americans who are not of American Indian ancestry, has triggered a possible increase in harmful addictions (such as to alcohol or tobacco or marijuana or any other illicit drug, or a personal addiction to financially-disastrous gambling activities, or a personal addiction to paying money to sexual prostitutes in exchange for flagrantly illicit sex, or a possible addiction to crass forms of materialism) by many American Indians?
Also, has there been an increased involvement in alleged possible organized crime activities---the illicit sexual prostitution industry, for instance---by American Indians that has occurred partly because of Tribes' increased involvement in sponsorship of gambling casinos and ownership of loan companies?
If the answer to either of these questions appears to be "yes," this raises the question of whether the apparently growing American Indian Tribal involvement in those two often-unethical business activities has badly compromised the reputations and lifestyles of many American Indians in the United States.
