The Seneca Nation has changed its plans for an off-reservation casino in the Catskills region of New York.
The tribe planned to ask Congress to approve the facility. But now the tribe will go through the Interior Department, the normal route for off-reservation casinos.
Larry EchoHawk, the
new head of the Bureau of Indian
Affairs, plans to tour Catskills casino sites later this month or in September. He has not stated his policy on off-reservation gaming.
