When I saw Marger had a Chapter on Native Americans, I was waiting for him to mention Casinos because that was honestly the first thing that came into my mind before I started reading. I found it very interesting that while they have helped some people, the Casinos have not had the impact I thought they did. I really thought that the Indians were making tons of money off this, and it was an eye-opener to learn the reality that Native Americans have low status in the American ethnic hierarchy. Reading about the Casinos also reminded me of someone I know that used to work for the Seneca-Allegany Casino in Salamanca. Apparently, the Indians are strict as an employer (he ended up getting fired), I thought that was interesting to mention as well.
