>>>How would you explain to someone who is not American (and never been or lived here) - in 2 or 4 sentences - the connection between Native Americans and Casinos? That is, how the Native American Gaming has been established and being regulated? and how native americans benefit from the casinos?
>>>TIA

>>Actually, googling "Native Americans and casinos will bring up a nice selection of articles on the subject. Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_gaming, here's another on the history: http://www.santaynezchumash.org/gaming_history.html

>>Basically, Native American Gaming is regulated by the Congress at the Federal level and very few have actually benefitted from it.

>The first link in your message I had found before but it was not very clear (to me) as to the benefits to native americans. I will look through the second link you posted to see if it give more explanation. Thank you.

From the first link:
"Many tribal governments have seen substantial improvements in their ability to provide public services to their members, such as building schools, improving infrastructure, and shoring up the loss of native traditions"
