From 1998 through 2013, the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs
sought to develop a casino in Cascade Locks, Oregon. This prompted
objections from the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, who already
operated a lucrative casino in the region. Brook Colley's in-depth
case study unravels the history of this disagreement and challenges
the way conventional media characterizes intertribal casino
disputes in terms of corruption and greed. Instead, she locates
these conflicts within historical, social, and political contexts
of colonization. Through extensive interviews, Colley brings to the
forefront Indigenous perspectives on intertribal conflict related
to tribal gaming. She reveals how casino economies affect the
relationship between gaming tribes and federal and state
governments, and the repercussions for the tribes themselves.
Ultimately, Colley's engaging examination explores strategies for
reconciliation and cooperation, emphasizing narratives of
resilience and tribal sovereignty.
