| | Native Americans in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Common usage in the U.S. The term Native American was originally introduced in the United States by anthropologists as a more accurate term for the indigenous people of the Americas, as distinguished from the people of India. | | | Most Native American communities have established court systems to adjudicate matters related to local ordinances, and most also look to various forms of moral and social authority vested in traditional affiliations within the community. | | | In the 19th century, the incessant Westward expansion of the United States incrementally compelled large numbers of Native Americans to resettle further west, sometimes by force, almost always reluctantly. |

| | However, if a state chooses to permit certain forms of gambling, then American Indian claims of self-determination have greater weight, and tribes should be allowed to regulate their use of those forms of gambling. | | | Under our legal system, American Indian tribes have a distinctive status as "domestic dependent nations." To understand this label and its history is to understand much about the complex relationship between Indian nations, the Federal government, and the state government. | | | Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, the federal courts reaffirmed the earlier compromise and supported American Indian peoples' right to conduct gambling operations that were not prohibited under state law. |

| | Federal court ruling that Arizona Indian gambling illegal could have major repercussions in Minnesota |
| | Minnesota's state-tribal gambling compacts are inequitable to State taxpayers who subsidize state infrastructure and must pay for the consequences of legalized gambling like treatment for compulsive gamblers, social support for damaged families, and economic losses. | | | State negotiators also did not require any effective means of monitoring Indian gambling enterprises, nor for enforcing tribal compliance with the compacts. | | | Unlike the state lottery, Minnesotans never had a chance to vote on it, and most of the negotiations by the State legislature were done in secrecy. |

| | Native American gambling enterprises - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In 1987 the U.S. Supreme Court recognized that, as sovereign political entities, federally-recognised Native American tribal entities could operate gaming facilities free of state regulation. | | | Native American gambling enterprises comprise gambling businesses operated on Indian reservations, which have limited sovereignty and therefore the ability to exist outside of federal restrictions. | | | Finally, some Native Americans do not like the firm link between Natives and a dubious or even sinful business (as gambling is considered by many people) that has thus entered the minds of the majority society. |

| | National Tribal Justice Resource Center |
| | In 1988, Congress passed a law intended to permit tribal casinos in states where casinos were legal, but unfortunately the courts have interpreted it as allowing them even in states that prohibit them. | | | But the tribes were treated, juridically, as independent entities, and granted a sort of "limited sovereignty." The U.S. government entered into treaties with them, agreed not to tax them or commercial enterprises established in the reservations, and exempted them from many federal and state laws (e.g., building codes) that were enforced against all other residents. | | | Eventually, the tribes got into the business of running whatever gambling enterprises the local state laws permitted (e.g., lotteries, and gambling for charitable fund-raisers and, to be sure, casinos, where state law allowed them). |
