There are questions that are posed regarding the scrupulous spending of the funds that are generated from the operation of casinos and this article goes into specifics of which tribal programs and services benefit from the funds. This article source provides specific statistics as to where the funds are delegated to which makes this a great reference to showcase the positive impact made in the tribal community of the Cherokee Nation.

Ebbott and Graves dig deep into the Minnesota tribes economic past and present. They state how significant casinos have improved the economic stability of the reservations within the state. They also elaborate on the opportunities that are available to all citizens of the state of Minnesota but yet few Native Americans actually take advantage of these opportunities. This chapter delves into the businesses that are being run by the tribes and how they are contributing to the self-sufficiency that seems to be lacking in Indian country. The authors provide more than ample information regarding my topic and the issues that surround it. The information stated in the first paragraph of this chapter is what will be most useful to me and it provides yet another positive outlook on the benefits of tribal casinos.
