An anti-gaming group in Michigan settled its land-into-trust lawsuit with the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi Indians.
The move by Citizens Exposing Truth About Casinos clears the way for the Bureau of Indian Affairs to acquire 79 acres for the tribe. The lawsuit had delayed the proposed FireKeepers Casino.
But CETAC says it is considering another lawsuit against the project. Another group, Taxpayers of Michigan Against Casinos, has a ruling pending on the state's handling of tribal gaming revenues.
The Nottawaseppi Huron Band was recognized by the BIA in 1995. Its land is being taken into trust under an exception in the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act that applies to newly recognized tribes.
