Gambling with the Future: The Evolution of Aboriginal Gaming in Canada - Belanger, Yale

Clean, tight, unmarked; previous owner's name on title page; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; At the heart of the book is an examination of the development of First Nations gambling across Canada, the resultant political battles fought in each province to establish Indian run casinos, and the kinds of agreements that were reached with provincial authorities to legally establish First Nations gambling institutions. Factors including the importance of casino location and management arrangements - which have led some casinos to become very successful and others economically problematic - are discussed in full. Finally, the author looks at challenges First Nations gambling institutions face in the future and the question of the extent to which such institutions are an important engine for economic development of First Nations communities.
