Using Your Tribal Values To Develop An Elder Protection Code: A Step-By-Step Guide For Communities, 2nd Edition, Tribal Elder Abuse Task Force

Tribal Voices (Events)

The Elder Abuse Task Force organized in 2005 to address elder abuse in New Mexico tribes and Pueblos.

Since the process may be applied to many different communities, the Task Force hopes that this workbook will be a resource used throughout Indian Country.

The purpose of this workbook is to protect elders from abuse in their communities. This workbook …

Paternalism Or Protection?: Federal Review Of Tribal Economic Decisions In Indian Gaming, Kevin Washburn, Barry W. Brandon, Philip N. Hogen, Vanya S. Hogen

Faculty Scholarship

In a recent Senate hearing, Senator John McCain and Professor Washburn clashed about the federal role in tribal economic decisions involving Indian gaming. Professor Washburn, who was struck by decades of incompetent federal stewardship of tribal trust funds demonstrated so painfully in the Cobell litigation, questioned the wisdom of the existing gaming regulatory structure in which federal officials at the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) exercise oversight of tribal economic decisions involving tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. Senator McCain sharply disagreed. Following his investigation of lobbyist Jack Abramoff, McCain was even more certain that tribes needed federal protection …

Testimony On The Department Of The Interior's New Policy On Off-Reservation Acquisitions Of Land In Trust For Indian Gaming, Before The United States House Of Representatives Natural Resources Committee, 110th Congress, Second Session, Kevin Washburn

Faculty Scholarship

The Department of the Interior's New Guidance on Off-Reservation Acquisitions of Land in Trust for Indian Gaming assumes that the principal value of Indian gaming is reservation employment. Although this assumption is mostly incorrect - Indian gaming operations, like state lotteries, are about public revenues, not jobs - off-reservation gaming can dramatically increase the number of public service jobs on Indian reservations. Indian gaming revenues are mostly expended on tribal services to tribal members, creating numerous public service jobs in tribal government. Off-reservation Indian gaming can also provide revenues for restoration of lands on Indian reservation, making up for limited …
