Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references.
Summary:
"While games of chance have been part of the Aboriginal cultural landscape since before European contact, large-scale commercial gaming facilities within
First
Nations
communities
are a relatively new phenomenon in
Canada
.
First
Nations
Gaming in
Canada
is the
first
multidisciplinary study of the role of gaming in indigenous
communities
north of the 49th parallel. Bringing together some of Canada’s leading
gambling
researchers, the book examines the history of Aboriginal gaming and its role in indigenous political economy, the rise of large-scale casinos and cybergaming, the socio-ecological impact of problem
gambling
, and the challenges of labour unions and financial management. The authors also call attention to the dearth of socio-economic impact studies of
gambling
in
First
Nations
communities
while providing models to address this growing issue of concern."--Back cover.
