This article provides details of a panel presentation entitled Aboriginal Casinos: Who’s Cashing In? that was sponsored by the Royal Society of Canada in conjunction with the University of Lethbridge. Panel members included Dr. Robert Williams, Dr. Yale Belanger, former Blood Tribe Chief Chris Shade, and coordinator of the Kainaakiiksi women’s group Phyllis Day Chief. The speakers suggested the benefits of added revenue for reserves generated from gaming would not outweigh the potential social costs.
