Casinos
By Stacy Thacker, University of Montana
In the past few years the Navajo Nation has decided to try its hand at gaming. While this has been both controversial and welcomed, there is a new study that shows that it might be among the best ideas that many tribes have had.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Casinos have proven to be something of a health miracle.

Every other day or so I’ll make a 20-plus minute drive to Farmington, N.M. the closest border town to the Navajo reservation in my neck of the woods.
The approximate 15-mile stretch has rolling hills with small businesses along side the road and just as you make the final stretch into the edge of the city there it is. On the right hand side, alone, big, beautifully lit at night, though surrounded by dirt and plenty of mobile homes.
It’s the Navajo Nation’s third and newest casino, Northern Edge Navajo Casino.
