Book
The Supreme Court and tribal gaming : California v. Cabazon Band of Mission Indians / Ralph A. Rossum.
Covers the history of the California v. Cabazon Band of Mission Indians Supreme Court case and the impact the decision had on the tribal gaming business.
"When the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians--a small tribe of only 25 members--first opened a high-stakes bingo parlor, the operation was shut down by the State of California as a violation of its gambling laws. It took a Supreme Court decision to overturn the state's action, confirm the autonomy of tribes, and pave the way for other tribes to operate gaming centers throughout America. Ralph Rossum explores the origins, arguments, and impact of California v. Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, the 1987 Supreme Court decision that reasserted the unique federally supported sovereignty of Indian nations, effectively barring individual states from interfering with that sovereignty and opening the door for the explosive growth of Indian casinos over the next two decades."--Publisher's description.
