Abstract
In this study Neely describes the manner in which the Eastern Band of Cherokee in contemporary North Carolina (ca. 1970s-1980s )have adapted economically to life in the 'modern world' with as little sacrifice to their traditionalism as possible. Such changes are noted in the shift from the dependence on farming to other occupations, tourism and bingo as a major factor in the tribal economy, and dramatic inprovements in housing on the reservation.
