The View from Lantern Hill
Mass Audubon Legislative Director's remembrances of growing up in the wildlands around the current Foxwoods Casino in northeastern Connecticut
by Jennifer Ryan

Thanking the Corn
The traditional Native Americans of the Northeast sought a communal life in balance. Material wealth was distributed equally, theft was rare, and gifts were held in trust in order to be passed on to others.
by Michael Caduto

Before the Deluge

The Gaming Ground
Resource use and politics will be a major issue if the Middleboro Casino plans proceed. The biggest question, along with open space, traffic, and wildlife conservation, is water: Will there be enough?
by Nini Bloch
