Natural History Institute: Demystifying Indian Gaming and Casinos – An Environmental, Economic, and Indigenous Perspective

Join Dr. Maurice Crandall for a talk demystifying Indian gaming and casinos from an environmental, economic, and Indigenous perspective.

Of the many developments in Indian Country over the past fifty years, perhaps none has been more important than the advent of Indian gaming and tribal casinos. But Indian gaming is also one of the most misunderstood aspects of Indian Country. This talk will explore the historical developments that led to Indian gaming, including environmental issues, as well as the legal framework that regulates the industry. It will also look at the topic from the perspective of a Yavapai-Apache individual who has been involved in the industry in various ways.

*The event is free, but space is limited, and registration is required. For those unable to attend in person, the talk will be live-streamed on our YouTube Channel.
