In my reading class i wrote an essay on if casinos are good or bad on the reservation.
Casinos on the reservation are a good idea. It's a good idea because there are a lot of jobs, the elders have something fun to do, and the tribes will make a lot of money.
When casinos are on the reservation, then there will be more jobs for the people who live close by the casino. There are a lot of people who live on the reservation and some of them may work out of town like here in Albuquerque, but if there were a casino back where they live then hey can find a job at the casino and save gas and money. According to the National Indian Gaming Association there are over 400,000 total jobs from the casinos.
The elders have something fun to do like go to the casino! Mom's, dad's, auntie's, uncle's, grandpa's, and grandma's don't just want to stay home and do nothing but watch T.V. They want to go have fun too! So they go to the casino. on the reservation there is harly anything to do out there, so the elders go to the casino! There is also bingo in a lot of casinos that's where they go to have fun.
From the casinos the tribe makes a lot of money. From the money that was made from the casinos the tribes build programs and they donate to charitable organization. Also the casinos give money the welfare. Well the tribes are making money some special person is winning money to!
That is why casinos are good to have on the reservation. There is a lot of jobs, the elders have something fun to do, and the tribe makes a lot of money.
