This book offers important insights into the internal procedures and values of a modern tribe divided against itself. Living in a land stripped and poisoned by the local industries, the Mohawks of Akwesasne turned to gambling in order to survive. Yet it soon became evident that only certain people were profiting, and the traditional Mohawks began to fear for their values, their safety, and for the future of their children.
