- Summary:
- Intended to provide a comprehensive look at the current state of Indian Gaming in Canada today, this collection of articles from a multidisciplinary group of Canadian academics examines the impact of the gambling infrastructure on a variety of areas of aboriginal society and life. The work is divided into four sections covering the historical and legal issues in the development of Indian gaming, socio-economic considerations and gambling research in the community, the impacts of gambling on health, and contemporary challenges to First Nations gaming. Individual chapters address such topics as virtual sovereignty and online gaming, frameworks for assessing the socio-economic impacts of gambling, gambling behaviors among aboriginal peoples and labor unions and First Nations casinos. Belanger is a professor of Native American studies at the University of Lethbridge. Distributed in the US by Michigan State University Press.
