The House Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing this Friday on two controversial off-reservation casinos.
H.R.
2176 and H.R.
4115 settle land claims for the Bay Mills Indian Community and
the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of
Chippewa Indians. The tribes would be able to open casinos on sites hundreds
of miles away from their existing reservations.
The bills have been approved by the House Natural Resources Committee. But Rep. John Conyers (D-Michigan), the chairman of the Judiciary committee, opposes the measures.
The hearing takes place at 10am in Room 2141 of the Rayburn House Office Building. A live broadcast will be available.
