Strength in family at Spirit Lake: Life is not all bleak and despairing on reservation, members say

Paul Matheny’s sons are talkers like their father, the affable general manager of the Spirit Lake Resort and Casino. Ask Paul Jr., 15, a question about life on the Spirit Lake Reservation and settle in for a discourse delivered with confidence and intensity. Make eye contact with Victor, 7, and it’s as if you’ve handed the boy a microphone. He is what Regis Philbin must have been like as a child.
