Abstract
The unique political status of First Nations People, the evolution of Indigenous policy, and the judicial framework for the establishment of the sovereignty and rights of self-determination of Indigenous People in the United States are critical reference points for the development of social policy in First Nation communities. The availability of economic resources in communities with successful Indigenous gaming ventures creates unique opportunities for the development of social policy and programs. The author argues that given the history of systemic oppression of Indigenous People through federal policy and judicial decisions, the need for strength-based approaches which empower First Nations People are especially critical in overcoming the legacy of colonial oppression Indigenous communities have endured in the United States.
