Gaming and Economic Development in Indian Country - Professor McQuillen

  • Course Number: LAW-901
  • Course Type: Foundational
  • Credits: 3
  • Description: American Indians and reservation populations are the poorest people and communities in the United States. Tribal governments and reservation communities desperately need to attract economic activities to their reservations and to build functioning economies to help preserve and
    perpetuate their communities. This survey course addresses the major issues of accomplishing those
    goals and looks at historic and modern-day tribal economic activities, including gaming, and some
    relevant economic principles and practices that tribes are using and can use. The class will
    consider case law, and legal and non-legal materials to address these issues. No background
    in economics is needed.
