Ron Allen, Chairman of the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe and chairman of the Washington Indian Gaming Commission, appears as a guest columnist in today's
Seattle Times addressing some common misperceptions about tribal gaming. Chairman Allen's column provides background on the Federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and how tribes use revenues derived from gaming to fund social programs for their tribal members. Chairman Allen also describes how tribes support not just tribal programs, but community and social programs throughout Washington, particularly in rural under-served areas.
