The first episode explores the historical underpinnings of tribal
sovereignty, the evolution of tribal gaming and its effects on
California's native peoples and their non-Indian neighbors. In a
few short years, American Indians in California went from being the
poorest people in the state to some of the richest, gaining
extraordinary wealth from gambling. They also emerged as one of the
most powerful political lobbies in the state. This episode weighs
the impact of gaming on Indian self-determination and explores the
challenges native peoples face in defining their identity for the
future.
