The Tribe is required to establish a problem-gambling education and awareness program and to provide information about education, awareness, and treatment program services in a community and contributions report. The Sixth Amendment to the Tribal State Compact for the Class III Gaming between the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe and the State of Washington is approved. *See* 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(8)(A).
