Native American tribes enjoy a limited status as sovereign nations but are legally considered as "domestic dependent nations" as opined by the Marshall Court in 1829. Native Americans have always had difficulty finding a source of steady income. Traditional Native American ways of life had been taken away, and so a new way to be economically independent was needed. Widespread poverty among Native Americans continues today, nearly two hundred years later. Gaming is one way to alleviate this poverty and provide economic prosperity and development for Native Americans.<sup id="cite_ref-McCulloch1994_25-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-McCulloch1994-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Stein1998_26-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Stein1998-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Naomi Mezey, a professor of law and culture at Georgetown, argues that as Native American gaming regulations currently stand, the IGRA fails to provide Indians with economic independence. The act forces tribes to depend on both federal and state governments. Many Native Americans give up rights in order to receive government financial assistance. "The federal entitlement of Native Americans to game on tribal lands does not implicate economic development policy and wealth distribution alone. By redistributing culture and sovereignty, the IGRA has fueled the tribe's long battle from cultural survival and political autonomy."<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Opposition">Opposition</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Indian_Gaming_Regulatory_Act&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Opposition"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The IGRA has proven to be a major focus of the controversy surrounding Indian gambling. The controversy and concerns come from the following three main areas: (1) tribal-state compacts (2) negative public reaction, and (3) gambling competition. </p><p>Tribal-State Compact is a form of cooperation commonly used in Class III gambling. These compacts affect the balance of power between states, federal, and tribal governments. Although the compact must receive final approval from the U.S. Secretary of the Interior, the compact demonstrates a state's ability to regulate and even tax Class III tribal gaming within its borders.<sup id="cite_ref-senate_29-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-senate-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In addition, compacts often include language relating to a state's right to enforce criminal and civil law and prosecution for gambling-related crimes. This right may conflict with tribal law enforcement jurisdictions and legal procedures. Since enforcement of gambling-related laws requires resources, states make sure to include language in the compact that requires tribes to financially compensate the state for regulation and law enforcement.<sup id="cite_ref-senate_29-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-senate-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As problems often arise because of compacts, the IGRA seeks to carefully define what compacts entail. </p><p>Some public voices oppose the current practice of government. One reason for the opposition comes from the fact that the Bureau of Indian Affairs grants tax-payer money to tribes for economic development purposes. Some tribes take that money and use it to create casinos and other gaming establishments. Certain citizens reject the idea of using tax payer money to build tax-exempt tribal casinos which generate tax-exempt revenues.<sup id="cite_ref-legis.state_30-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-legis.state-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Another complaint from other U.S. citizens is the negative effects casinos have on nearby neighborhoods.

Such high-stakes gambling in tribal areas and tax-exempt policy give Indian casinos great advantages in this competition. Consequently, Non-Indian casinos have lobbied the government to strengthen the regulatory power of the states toward Indian gaming.<sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Proposed_changes">Proposed changes</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Indian_Gaming_Regulatory_Act&action=edit&section=20" title="Edit section: Proposed changes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Since its passage a variety of changes and proposals have been considered, and changes are still being considered.
