Example: A model student AB entry:

Nykiel, Ronald A. "A Special Look at Indian Gaming." UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal 8.2 (2004): 51-56. Bibliography of Native North Americans. Web. 30 Oct. 2015.

The article examines the influence that tribal casinos have had on two specific Native American tribes from Connecticut, the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribes. These tribes were both successful at opening a tribal casino, and their success demonstrates what benefits can be generated. As the most successful casino resort in the United States, the Foxwoods, built by the Mashantucket Pequot tribe, once the poorest tribe in the state, serves as a source of social and economic benefits.  The other group, the Mohegan tribe, established Connecticut’s second tribal casino with the support of funds generated from the Foxwoods. Nykiel discusses the lasting impact these casinos have had not only on the reservations and the local Native American community, but the economic and social impact on the state of Connecticut as a whole.
