What Was Ours - Museum Casino Controversy - Clip
This excerpt from the Independent Lens documentary What Was Ours shows a debate on the Wind River reservation over bringing Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone artifacts home for a museum to be housed inside a local casino. While an Arapaho journalist tries to get the museum established, religious and tribal elders worry about ethical and moral implications of it being in a place of gambling.
