THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2002 A legislative proposal to create an urban casino in the Twin Cities of Minnesota has drawn divergent views from tribal leaders. Tribes with money-making casinos fear the facility would undercut all the progress they have made. The tribes have created jobs, become more self-sufficient and have made infrastructure improvements. Tribes who haven't been able to benefit from gaming, due to their rural location, see the issue differently. The Red Lake and White Earth Ojibwe bands are buying into the casino because it would benefit them. Get the Story:
