Can’t blame all those ills on just the casinos.
That stuff was going on long before the first casino was ever built.

For a number of tribes, wealth from casinos has compounded preexisting Indian social problems, with cocaine and heroin substituted for alcohol, more powerful vehicles leading to more deadly crashes, and guns used in disputes instead of fists and knives.

And since Indian reservations are mostly self-governing, law enforcement tends to be weak and too often compromised by tribal politics and personal and family ties. As for Yellowstone, its view of Indians is far more sympathetic than critical or even realistic.
