Indian Gaming and Tribal Sovereignty: The Casino Compromise

by Steven Andrew Light, Kathryn R.L. Rand, Kathryn R. L. Rand

Book Overview

From Connecticut to California, Native American tribes have entered the gambling business, some making money and nearly all igniting controversy. The image of the casino Indian is everywhere. Some observers suspect corruption or criminal ties, or have doubts about tribal authenticity. Many tribes disagree, contending that Indian gaming has strengthened tribal governments and vastly improved the quality of reservation life for American Indians.
