Dependency On Government Of Native Americans: Its Unknown Consequences: Impact Of Native American Gaming

By Bernetta Bary

This book is a must read for anyone wanting to learn how lives of many Native Americans are negatively impacted by reliance on government subsidies or wealthy casino earnings.

The author's account focuses on the small Klamath Tribes of Oregon, independent for a while and now dependent again, by their choice, on government benefits, and by comparison, the Mdewakanton Sioux of Minnesota, a tribe also suffering from dependency, in their case dependence on casino gambling that makes them all millionaires who don't need to work, and don't work, to their own tragic detriment. Rigert shows how the problems of these two tribes are indicative of the social pathology, as a native scholar put it, found among so many members of the 560 tribes of America. It's a seminal story never told before.
