The Bingo Queens of Oneida

"The Bingo Queens of Oneida" tells the inspiring story of how two women from the Oneida Indian Reservation in Wisconsin used bingo as a simple yet powerful way to support their community during challenging times. By establishing a tribal-run bingo hall in 1976, they helped generate much-needed funds for health and housing services, fueling both economic and cultural revitalization. Through detailed historical context and personal stories, the book highlights how a modest game became a catalyst for tribal sovereignty and community resilience.
