1. My audience for this project is my professor, fellow classmates, tribal members, officials, and anyone interested in tribal casinos. I think that my audience would want to know the information that supports my answer to my research question. I believe that casinos are good for tribes and for their surrounding communities and I plan on providing supporting documentation and information stating the benefits of them. My audience needs to know of these benefits and the positive impact they have and then they can decide for themselves if they agree with me or not.
2. The purpose is to educate my audience on the positives of tribal casinos. I think that statistical information is what is going to achieve my purpose the most.
3. Casinos are fairly new to most tribes but there are a few that have been around for a long while. I have gathered information from the beginning to the present to have the most detailed information possible. This timeline gives me the chance to discuss the major differences between then and now and how the “older” casinos have made an impact and have paved the way for the “newer” casinos. The history of Native Americans plays an integral role in my research as this history is what makes the tribal casinos possible. My information must also be recent to show the changes that have been made since the beginning of tribal casinos.
4. I really didn’t have to narrow down my research question. I have found plenty of information to answer my question sufficiently and so far I don’t think that any of my research in tangentially relevant. I think everything I have fits into my paper “puzzle” in one way or another, big or small.
5. I do have the flip side of this issue. I have gathered information regarding the negative effects of tribal casinos as I know that this needs to be addressed as well. It is something that each tribe has to deal with and I can give more information as to how they are handling these issues.
6. How they are comparable to non-native casinos. I think it’s been interesting to read about how they are comparing to Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Although I could probably work it into my paper somehow I don’t think that it’s as relevant as stating the positive impact that tribal casinos have on their communities versus stating facts about competing casinos.
