Indian Gaming, Tribal Sovereignty, and American Indian Tribes as Complex Adaptive Systems

Paper introduces complexity theory as a new conceptual approach to research in Native American studies and to gaming in particular. The paper argues that although gaming can have positives, it can also spawn major and irreversible changes in a community, perhaps even weaken a tribe and its sovereignty.
