Bob: *The biggest question is would the people who come to a casino even stop by the museum? 1. Many of these people come by tour bus. They only see the outside of the bus when leaving the bus and boarding the bus. 2. Since casino people are strictly adults and museum visitors are usually mixed age groups, do museum studies show enough adult/adult groups to suggest adults only would go? (Worse yet, would the groups that have kids drop them off to the museum for babysitting?) *The casino will be attracting drinkers and gamblers. Will this influcen the repuation of the museum. For example: I don't want my kids hanging around a place where there are drunk drivers. (Without getting into the phrasology for the Indian reputation for drinking.) 1. When working with non-Indians the biggest problem I have is convincing them that Indian culture still survives. Because it is a thriving culture it is evolving. Would an exhibi that shows the modern culture of Indian people help the potential public relations problems? 2. See Geroge Horscapture's book Pow Wow. Which was also an exhibit of modern culture. * Why is Los Vegas building chidren's attractions? Is anything there applicable to your situration? Most of the Indian gaming casinos are attached to Los Vegas business firms. Would they be able to help you in informtion $$$ to make the two business more compatable?
