Tribal Gaming: Politics in Indian Country

One year into the global pandemic and the regulatory and political landscape on both the federal and state level has changed dramatically. There has also been a sea change in the narrative and lobbying in Indian country, where more than half of gambling revenue in the US is generated. This webinar will take a closer look at the key themes and trends shaping the future of tribal gaming, in particular:  

• How political and regulatory priorities have evolved in Indian country 
• What changes the new federal administration might bring in terms of the relationship between tribes and state and federal governments 
• Whether tribal sovereignty risks becoming corroded as states expand gambling laws 
• What to expect in the key tribal states in 2021 and beyond

• Rodney Butler, Chairman, Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation
