Resumen

MAGER HOIS, Elisabeth A.. U.S. Tribal Casinos: A Key to Self-Determination?. Norteamérica [online]. 2009, vol.4, n.2, pp.73-101. ISSN 2448-7228.

This article questions whether the economic progress achieved by opening casinos really guarantees political and cultural independence for U.S. indigenous tribes, and whether through them they achieve self-determination. Its analysis of U.S. federal government policy and power issues between the tribes and federal and state governments concludes that U.S. tribes progress economically through casino revenues, but only achieve conditioned self-determination, given greater federal control and supervision by the National Indian Gaming Commission. For their part, states stipulate that the casinos can only offer certain kinds of games, thus limiting their freedom. Tribes’ integration and assimilation into U.S. society through the casinos put their self-determination in danger, above all through ideological manipulation.

Palabras llave : casinos; U.S. tribes; self-determination; control; federal government; integration.
