12-Nov-05. How bands can gamble risk-free. Lethbridge Herald, A6.

This editorial examines the social and economic implications of the planned opening of several Aboriginal casinos in the Province of Alberta based on the discussion at last week’s forum on Aboriginal casinos at the University of Lethbridge. The author says that the safest strategy for Southern Albertan First Nations bands may well be to stay out of the game altogether. This is because the province’s Aboriginal gaming model will share a percentage of casinos profits for the benefit of all Alberta native peoples.
