Chapter 2: The Indian reservation today
2.3 The system of the reservations
Native Americans have built their homes, their villages, their schools, their communal meeting places and places of worship on their reservation. Some reservations are set near the big cities in states in order to run casinos. Those Indians casinos provide great economic resources for the tribes and for all of the tribal members. They do not possess full autonomy within the reservation but they enjoy it. They also maintain their own government. They have their own code of laws, educational system, public services and even their own police force. (USA tourist Community 2008).
