Reservists don't always live in Tipis, nor do they always wear the traditional garb. It's more ceremonial than anything else.

We don't all drink and smoke, and gamble.

And most of us do pay taxes, even though we don't technically have to.

And FYI I am Cherokee

I use to spend a lot of summers with my grandfather on the Seminole reservation in south FL. I loved every minute of it.
