<p>Written by the star of the television series "Casino Rescue," this book is a guide to strategic planning for Tribe-to-Tribe economic development partnerships. It is a blueprint -by example- of one Tribe's model for creating sustainable economic development with casinos as the starting engineWhile it tells the success-story of the Willapa Bay Enterprises (WBE) Corporation of the Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe, it actually is a handbook for intertribal processes to transform strained low-income Tribal enterprises into modern successful economic engines.The backstory is a common one; a Tribal history wrought with struggle, an under-performing casino, misfired businesses, but with Tribal leaders who are eager to take care of their people and build prosperity.In a novel-perfect plot twist, it all turns around when the right team comes together and creates not only incredible success but a template for sharing the success with other Tribes. Once the story plays out, the stage is set for a cookie-cutter roadmap to success; a formula that almost any Tribe can duplicate by partnering with WBE.This book outlines how that partnership works.Author Gary Green is a former Donald Trump casino vice president, host and star of the television series "Casino Rescue" and the author of the landmark book "Osceola's Revenge; The Phenomena of Indian Casino."

He was once known as one of America's most intense folksingers and rock poets (with his three 1970's albums now part of the Smithsonian collection in Washington DC).In addition to being memorialized in the prestigious Smithsonian Institution, he has thousands of Twitter followers, Facebook fans, and LinkedIn connections, is recorded in IMDB.com (Internet Movie Database), listed in the Wikipedia online encyclopedia, and has two Pulitzer nominations in journalism, along with a string of other honors and awards.
