About the event

Speaker: Dr. Laurie Arnold, Sinixt Band of the Colville Confederate Tribes & Gonzaga University

Description: Today’s casinos serve as gathering places for native American communities just as sites of games and competitions did for our ancestors. Dr. Arnold will explain how contemporary Indian gaming connects to cultural traditions of spirituality and gambling that reinforce tribal political sovereignty in the present.
