As of 2011, there were 460 gambling operations run by 240 tribes, with a total annual revenue of $27 billion.

Red Power Movement
The Red Power movement was a social movement led by Native American youth to demand self-determination for Native Americans in the United States. Organizations that were part of Red Power Movement included American Indian Movement (AIM) and National Indian Youth Council (NIYC). This movement sought the rights for Native Americans to make policies and programs for themselves while maintaining and controlling their own land and resources.

Red Power centered around mass action, militant action, and unified action. The phrase "Red Power", attributed to the author Vine Deloria, Jr, commonly expressed a growing sense of pan-Indian identity in the late 1960s among American Indians in the United States. ...
