The National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), the only national non-profit organization that seeks to reduce the economic and social costs associated with gambling addiction, has unveiled its newly established Tribal Advisory Council. While NCPG has worked with tribal gaming entities for many years, the formation of the Tribal Advisory Council represents a deeper level of collaboration to address matters of responsible gambling and problem gambling that are of importance to Native American communities.
The Tribal Advisory Council seeks to increase awareness and respect for Native cultures as they relate to all facets of gambling so that these cultural practices can help other Native and non-Native communities.
