Eric Wright thinks Kalshi could change lives on his Indian reservation.
He’s the administrator for the Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation, a small Native American tribe in such an isolated area of northern California that it doesn’t have potable drinking water. But Wright hopes revenue from the tribe’s new Kalshi-backed prediction app will fund much-needed water projects.
The Kletsel Dehe is one of four tribes that launched prediction apps with Kalshi on Wednesday, becoming the latest to break ranks from most of Indian country, where opposition runs high because the industry could threaten casinos that provide an economic lifeline to hundreds of tribes.
