This essay discusses the many stereotypical, and all too often hypocritical, views held by non-Indians concerning Indian gaming in general and specifically in California by its current Governor Schwarzenegger. Historical icons of the "savage" and of Indians as "uncivilized" are examined for their implications regarding Native nations' ability for self-determination and the proceeds of Indian gaming in California. Half-truths and outright lies are identified as perpetrated by the government, and the governor, for specific purposes of denying full gaming and sovereignty rights of Native nations or taking too much revenue as a proxy for taxes. Hypocritical and discriminatory practices toward mainstream gaming are also compared. The governor's latest use of inflammatory language is exposed as political trickery and viewed as attempts to suppress highly successful Indian gaming operations
