"Hundreds of tribal members met in Mahnomen Thursday for the annual report on the state of the White Earth Nation.
Chairwoman Erma Vizenor says a tribal casino in the Twin Cities remains a cornerstone of the tribe's economic future.
Tribal members gathered around tables in an auditorium at the Shooting Star Casino. The event began with military honor guards and traditional songs.
Vizenor told tribal members White Earth has made great advancements in the past year. There are more police officers, a new school and improved housing because of millions of dollars in federal grants."
