Ojibwe and Indian Casinos
I believe that good engineering must be responsive and
adapt to the human context within which it is designed to
function. This is particularly true in a field such as indoor
environmental quality, where our mission is to envision
and create indoor environments that allow people to be
healthy, comfortable and productive. To understand a
little more about the human context of Indian casinos, I
studied before I visited.
Bois Forte Band. A band of Ojibwe Indians. Now
pronounced “boys fort,” Bois Forte was the French name
given to the Indians living in the densest forests of what
is now extreme northern Minnesota, inland from the great
lakes. The name means “strong wood” and the origin of the
people is the east coast. They operate the Fortune Bay Resort Casino. For more information, see www.boisforte.com.
Grand Portage Band. Descendants of the northern division of the Chippewa tribe who migrated several centuries
ago from the Atlantic Ocean and who now live on and
“As a part of preserving our culture, we need to respect tobacco and treat it in a sacred way as one of our first medicines. 7
”
The Economics
Jobs are hard to find for the Ojibwe, and the casinos and resorts are among the few sources of economic activity. I learned
near the northwestern shores of Lake Superior. They operate
the Grand Portage Lodge and Casino. For more information,
see www.grandportage.com/heritage.php.
Indian. While many in the U.S. use the term “Native Americans” and in Canada, “First Nations,” many tribal people call
themselves Indians or use the names of their individual tribes
or bands. It can be difficult to decide how to address people.
I suggest following their lead or asking their preference. I
did the former and used the term Ojibwe.
Indian Gaming. An independent federal regulatory agency, the National Indian Gaming Commission is empowered
by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 to regulate
activity at casinos run by tribal people in the U.S.
Ojibwe or Ojibwa, also known as Chippewa. One of
the largest nations in North America prior to the arrival of
Europeans. They currently number more than 100,000. The
Great Lakes region is the primary location of their reservations and large amounts of their population. The term also
refers to the native language spoken by the Ojibwe people.
that tribal leaders are concerned they will lose business if they
adopt no smoking policies. At the workshop, I encountered
the view that the market niche for the Indian casinos is the
smoking population since the smoke-free casino in Thunder
Bay, Ontario, Canada, about one hour away, captures that
portion of the market.
