Games of chance have been commonplace in the histories of American Indian peoples, but many tribal governments are now engaged in casino gambling as a part of the nationwide expansion of gambling for local economic development. Analysis of selected case examples, primarily from the West, reveals that tribes invest their profits in community infrastructure, social welfare projects, and economic diversification. Investments provide needed employment for tribal members and non-Indian residents of surrounding communities. Federal legislation requires states that allow gambling to develop compacts with tribal governments for the provision of gambling within those states. However, constitutional and case law regard tribal governments as sovereign in relation to state governments. This legal tension provides a source of continuing conflict in spite of Indian casino gaming's potential for community development. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
