It’s important to understand that Indigenous peoples groups in North America are not a monolith but rather a collection of hundreds of disparate cultures, heritages, and languages. Those disparate identities translate into the gambling industry with tribal casino matters, like the ongoing Warm Springs Casino lawsuit.
The dispute over the casino’s opening has seen its first ruling, which came in the casino’s favor. It’s just a temporary victory for the Fort Sill Apache Tribe property, however, and the main issues of the controversy are still pending litigation.
Warm Springs Casino near Anadarko, Oklahoma, hasn’t opened its doors yet despite most of the preparations for a grand opening being in place. The objection of two other Oklahoma tribal casino operators is most of the reason for the delay.
