Question

1. analyze the role of state-tribal tax compacts in oklahomas economic development. they have eliminated all forms of taxation on tribal lands. they have reduced the economic independence of tribal governments. they have primarily benefited state revenue at the expense of tribal communities. they have allowed tribes to levy taxes and share revenue with the state. 6. describe how the oklahoma city thunder has influenced external perceptions of oklahoma. it has had no significant impact. it positioned oklahoma city as a major league destination, attracting national and international attention. it portrayed oklahoma as a state without a strong sports culture. it emphasized the states rural and agricultural aspects.

Explanation:

For question 5: State - tribal tax compacts are agreements. They don't eliminate all taxes (as that would be extreme). They aim to balance state and tribal interests. Tribal economic independence is often enhanced as they can levy taxes (a form of self - governance) and share revenue (a cooperative economic measure). It's not about state revenue at tribal expense.
For question 6: A major league sports team like the Oklahoma City Thunder (an NBA team) would put the city (and by extension the state) on the national and international map. It's a symbol of a modern, urban, and sports - oriented place, not emphasizing rural aspects or having no impact. And having an NBA team shows a strong sports culture.

Answer:

1. They have allowed tribes to levy taxes and share revenue with the state.
2. It positioned Oklahoma City as a major league destination, attracting national and international attention.
