The Economic Impact of Casino Gaming on Native American Tribes
Native Americans gambled long before Europeans set foot upon their land. Gambling was used as part of tribal ceremonies and celebrations. (History, 2003) However, with the colonization of the land that would eventually become known as the United States, Europeans stripped this part of the Native American culture from them, much as they stripped away their land. Today, however, casino gaming has been reborn on Native American reservations throughout the United States. The question now being asked by society is what are the economic impacts of casino gaming on Native Americans?
