Many Native American tribes around the United States support their communities with casinos, but for some, that may not be a viable option.
Some are now looking to profit from payday advance lenders, online vendors that offer short-term loans up to $1,000 with high-interest rates.
Julia Harte and Nick Nehamas wrote about the effects of these companies on Native American tribes in their series for Al-Jazeera America titled, "Payday Nation." They join Take Two to talk about these lenders on settlements here in California and around the country.
