Casinos are good because often they are the only source of revenue for a tribe


[Hena:]
Casino gambling is good because that’s the only means of revenue generation for many tribes located way off the beaten path where the metropolitan areas are located, population centers are located. We have a casino on our reservation. We’re situated about 20 miles from here north of Santa Fe, and we rely on the revenues that are generated for our tribal budget.
