Social AND ECONOMIC IMPACT OF NATIVE AMERICAN; Casinos “Examining the effects of casinos after at least four years of operation. I find that positive change include : young adults moving back to the reservation fueling an 11.5 percent population increase ; adult employment increasing by 26 percent ; and a 14 percent decline in the number of working poor.In countries with or near a casino, the the employment-to-population ratio has increased and mortality has declined”.

In Connecticut for example a federal court ruled that because the state allowed nonprofit organizations to have casino rights as fundraisers, it had to allow the Mashantucket Pequot’s to add table games to its bingo operation. In 1991 the tribe expanded its bingo hall into a casino. It now runs Foxwoods, The world’s largest casino. In 1992 the Pequot’s offered the state $100 million a year or 25 percent of its slot machine takes. Which ever was greater, provided the state would allow it, but not any other group could install slot machines, the agreement was modified to allow the Mohegan tribe to operate slot machines after it received federal recognition. Payments from the tribe were estimated to be in excess of $350 million in 2002, and “effectively prevented the state from granting a license for a proposed non-Indian casino in the Bridgeport area”.

    Case Study: Tohono O Odham Nation

    Tohono O’odham Nation has built the Desert Diamond West Valley Casino near Glendale, Arizona. This on the surface is not controversial but has become just that, because of money and politics. The Tohono O’odham Nation has been through multiple courts over multiple issues since deciding to build a casino in the Glendale area. Two things remain constant out of all these court rulings and Interior reviews; Tohono O’odham Nation can have a casino in Glendale and the opposition will find another angle to fight them on it. The opposition on this issue is comprised of multiple elected officials and other Arizona Tribes that are fighting for each of their constituents. The Arizona Tribes that oppose the casino do not…

    Indian Gaming Regulatory Act Of 1988

    What is the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, and what type of impact did this policy cause about those American Indian groups; was this act in their best interest. “The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 was designed to regulate gaming on Indian lands”. “Congress adopted the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) (P.L. 100-497, 102 Stat. 2475) in 1988 and established a complex system to authorize and regulate the gaming and gambling enterprises of American Indian tribes” (The Gale Group Inc. & Gunn, 2004). Meaning that the American Indians, basically had no authority as to when, or where they could build a casino for gaming purposes on their own sovereignty lands; until the passage of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act in 1988 was enacted.…

    Indian Gaming in the States

    A common misunderstanding is that The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) is "a bill that allows select Indian tribes to create businesses that reap millions of dollars in profits and pay no federal income tax at the same time that the tribes collect millions in aid from America taxpayers." This statement reflects the media’s misunderstanding of Indian Tribes as governments. The U. S. Constitution, Congress, and countless Supreme Court decisions recognize Tribes as governments, and like State government lotteries, tribal government operations are not subject to taxation by another government.…

    Forbid Gambling Native Americans

    Gambling, drinking, laziness, and Indian attacks on the colonists were major problems at that period of time. Many of the colonist used gaming, and drinking as a way to entertain themselves, so it was mandatory to establish laws to forbid drinking and gaming. People weren’t qualified to farm or survive in that type of environment or survive the Indian attacks. Death rates were high because of starvation, diseases, and accidents from getting involved with Native Americans. Establishing a set of rules and laws was important to forbid gambling, dinking, selling giving or treading weapons of any kind with Native Americans to limit their sources to weapons and to keep peace. It was also important to set laws that encourage people to farm and survive.…

    Legalizing Gambling In Ohio

    Just a decade ago gambling was limited to two cities in the United States, Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Today there are only two states that don't have some form of legalized gambling, such as lotteries or bingo. Since commercial casino gambling was legalized in Nevada in 1931, the public attitude toward gambling has shifted from prohibition to permissiveness. Pamela M. Prah discovered in 2004, that there are "11 states that have commercial casinos, six have riverboats or docked casinos, and 23 states have within their borders casinos that are owned and operated by American Indian tribes." There is no doubt that legalized gambling has "exploded in the region and around the country, from the internet and multistate…

    Navajo Indians Research Paper

    As a pastoral society who utilized farming as their primary mode of subsistence, the Navajo Indians (Dineh – meaning Navajo people) had to learn other ways to survive in a constant changing world.(Hoxie 2008, Lomay & Hinkebein (2006), Paniagua (1994). Preserving their traditions is a priority for the Navajo Indians. They are known for their collectivism, as it incorporates family in every aspect of their lives.(Sampson,1988, Triandis, 1995). On the contrary, they also need to focus on how they would adapt to the Western culture, which is more individualistic and focuses on self, rather than a group.( Hossain, Z., Skurky, T., Joe, J., Hunt, T., 2011). The Navajo have shown resilience throughout their history because they have had to fight for their land and lifestyle since their establishment, and they are still going strong. But, is it possible for this matrilineal culture adapt, and survive in a culture that is so farfetched from their way of life? It is vital for the survival of the Navajo Indian Tribe to preserve their social and economic organization, while adapting to the social changes in the Western culture, which they are a part of. The strong spirit of the Navajo Indians can preserve, and sustain their identity while adapting to the ever changing Western culture.…

    Navajo Tribe Research Paper

    I choose the Navajo culture because when I was twelve I had a friend that was Navajo. She taught me a lot about her culture, and what it was all about. So, I thought doing the Navajo culture would be a perfect topic for me to research because of my personal connection to my friends life. This tribe of the Native Americans is the largest one in the United States to this day. Doing the research has taught me a lot more of the nature of the culture and the beliefs. That their culture is so different from our culture as Americans. These cultural elements are great . Their language is a completely different dialect, their religion is unique as well as their customs, traditions, and the art of literature.…

    I am writing my research paper on the Navajo Indians once called Dine’s; the Pueblo’s gave them the name Navajo as it was a Pueblo word meaning “planted fields” or “farmlands”.

    1862: the Dakota War

    the U.S. government should do more to help today’s Native American tribes solve problems like high unemployment, poverty, and alcoholism. Because 310 Indian reservations are where many of America’s poorest 1% live this explains the poverty of the reservations, people usually point to alcoholism, corruption or school-dropout rates, not to mention the long distances to jobs and the undeveloped land that doesn’t seem good for growing much. Prosperity is built on property rights, and reservations often have neither. They’re a demonstration of what happens when property rights are weak or non-existent in these Indian Reservations. The problems of the reservations go well beyond residents not having the right encouragements to upgrade their surroundings. With some exceptions, the casinos aren’t much benefiting to the several dozen reservations that have built them. Companies and investors are often reluctant to do business on reservations from signing up fast food franchisees to lending to casino projects because getting contracts enforced under tribal law can be tough. Indian nations can be small and issues don’t come up that often, so commercial codes aren’t well-developed and guides are lacking. And Indian defendants have a home court advantage. Many reservations are rich in natural resources, but there’s no big rush to develop them, given the corrupted issue of property rights and the risk of making a big investment without a secure legal footing. Why not try to help out? The vast majority of land on reservations is held mutually. That means residents can’t get clear title to the land where their home sits, one reason for the great quantity of mobile homes on reservations. This makes it hard for Native Americans to establish credit and borrow money to improve their homes because they can’t use the land as collateral and investing in something you don’t own makes little sense. To make more sense of this if everyone owns the land, no one does. So the result is poor…
