MONDAY, JANUARY 7, 2002 The Department of Interior has agreed to take into trust 49 acres of land for the United Auburn Indian Community of California. The tribe, which was terminated in 1967 but restored in 1994, plans to build a $100 million casino on the land, which could draw gamblers away from Nevada. The tribe has partnered with Station Casinos. There was local opposition to the project but the tribe agreed to a number of concessions including making payments to local governments. An anti-gaming activist and Wayne Smith, deputy to Assistant Secretary Neal McCaleb, called the agreements a nationwide model. The land-into-trust acquisition was approved under federal regulations under review by the Bush administration. McCaleb is accepting comments on the rules, which require a state governor to approve land being used for gaming purposes. Get the Story:
