Officials of the Shasta Nation want a California man to stop soliciting investors for an off-reservation casino outside of Los Angeles.
The tribe is based in northern California and is not federally recognized. But tribal leaders acknowledge they are seeking financial help for gaming projects should they gain federal status.
However, the officials say Tom Kelly is not authorized to raise funds for a $7.5 million casino supposedly near Magic Mountain. They say the tribe would never seek a casino outside of their aboriginal area.
