Big Chief Research Paper

The Florida Seminole tribe began the Native American gaming Journey by establishing the first high-stakes bingo hall in North America. The revenues received from the bingo hall have significantly changed tribal members’ lives.

On a warm February morning, I had the opportunity of interviewing someone who has heavily influenced the Choctaw Nation and as a result changed multiple communities throughout southeastern Oklahoma. That person was former chief of the Choctaw Nation, Greg Pyle. Greg Pyle was born in California, but moved to Oklahoma later in his childhood. He was heavily influenced by his father who never went to college, but read him books about business, which led him to obtain a bachelors in business, and a minor in psychology at Southeastern Oklahoma State University. Despite having several achievements, including being assistant chief for thirteen years, principle chief for seventeen, and being inducted into the Oklahoma hall of fame, Mr. Pyle had a gentle, humble, and a family minded persona.

Along with the Supreme Court’s 1987 decision in California vs. Cabazon, the passing of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 has made gaming a significant part of tribal economic development. Gaming has brought about economic self-determination for Native Americans for the first time in over two hundred years (Neath, 1995). Over two hundred of the United States’ 544 federally recognized tribes have established gaming on tribal lands (Neath, 1995). However, along with the economic profits, Indian gaming has brought many Native Americans back to reservations after many years of living off-reservation.

PER REPORTER: Chief Long said he received a call today from the manager (Shelia Kosteck) of the sub division where two children were visiting with their father. He said he was told that a woman by the name of (Rosie) went by her daughter’s house today around 9:30 a.m. He said according to Rosie she noticed that the two children were outside playing across the street at the play ground. She also witnessed them crossing the street by themselves. She said when she did not see anyone out there with them she then grabbed her chair and sat under her daughter’s carport to watch them.

Chief Seattle, a Native American Chief of the Duwamish tribe, faced the inevitability of his tribe’s removal from their homeland. While he could not deter the United States government from its intentions, he did not waste his opportunity to both protect his tribe and voice his opinions. In his oration to Governor Isaac I. Stevens, Chief Seattle secures respect for his tribe as they are driven off of the land they have protected for centuries. Seattle creates a dynamic shift in tone, primarily through the use of concession, figurative language, and contrast as he advocates for the civilized treatment of his people and the land.

During the 1970s American Indians in California and other parts of the U.S were at a disadvantage that included unemployment, poverty, deteriorating homes, and unsanitary living conditions. As a means to deal with the situation, some tribes included gaming (bingo or poker games) to their way of life. The goal of tribal government was to make the reservation self sufficient (Weeber 85). Although, some tribes did adopt gaming, others have not because of moral or traditional reasons or because they live in an areas far away from patrons (Canby 332). As a result, their lives continue to lack electricity, clean water, paved roads, and medical facilities (Barker 155). In this paper, I will show how the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians flourished

Throughout the past week I have been able to not only watch a film that contains important Native American influences and themes, but I have also been studying a film that provides several interesting aspects of Native American history since 1900 and their impact on American history. The film that I have chosen to study and review for this movie review assignment is Windrunner, produced in 1994, and directed by William Tannen. I choose this film, because not only does it contain several Native American beliefs and ideas, but it also provides interesting facts and information regarding Native Americans who played in American football. In this write up we will be able to see a little of the director’s background and biases, the genre of the film, and how the film portrays Indians. Besides these we will also be able to look at an overall assessment of the historical accuracy of the film and how it corrects stereotypes.

The ability of LAN events to spark the growth of world-wide video game corporations is huge for not just the growth of Esports but the video game industry as a whole. LAN events would continue to flourish when a new genre, known as First Person Shooters (FPS) emphasized the importance of competition. A massively popular genre, FPS games focus on ‘over-the-shoulder’ gun focused action in which the player(s) must shoot down and defeat opponents in order to win. The development of FPS games would later repay the favor to LAN events and eventually become the spectacle of one of the first big events called “Red Annihilation” (Taylor). Red Annihilation had been a huge success in innovating video game competition and was held in May of 1997 at the E3 Expo. (Taylor) While money would typically be a standard prize pool today, winners of the grand tournament for Quake, an action-packed FPS video game, would be a 1987 Ferrari. (Taylor). The proliferation of Red Annihilation has played a huge role in advancing the growth of video games due to its high level of play and attraction to aspiring video game players; one of the most important effects of Red Annihilation that would contribute to the expansion of the video game industry. Although the ultimate prize was a car and not money, the important aspect of the prize is to recognize that video games is actually made up of dedicated players with the mentality to win and be the best
