A Mentor’s Legacy in Tribal Sovereignty
As Rory Wheeler awaits the results of his New York State Bar exam, he stands committed to advancing the causes championed by his late mentor, Ernie Stevens Jr. These include pivotal efforts in tribal sovereignty and economic empowerment. At the recent Global Gaming Expo (G2E), the conversation turned to remembering Stevens’ significant contributions.
Continuing the Fight for Economic Development
Russ Witt, the Chief Business Development Officer at Eclipse Gaming Systems, initiated a panel at G2E focusing on the enduring impact of leaders like Stevens. The discussion emphasized the critical nature of continuing their work in enhancing tribal communities economically and politically.
Wheeler, inspired by Stevens’ dedication, vows to pursue these goals with vigor, ensuring that the roadmap laid out by his mentor for tribal advancement remains a priority. The legacy of Ernie Stevens Jr. thus remains a beacon for future generations seeking to navigate the complex landscape of tribal rights and development.
