The Confederated Goshute Tribes of Utah plan to ask the federal government to place land in Michigan in trust.
The tribe doesn't want a gaming facility though. The tribe has partnered with a Michigan group to open a health care facility that will primarily serve Native Americans in the state.
The request has Michigan officials concerned. They say Clinton Medical Associates is working with the tribe in order to skirt state laws regarding health facilities. They are promising to take legal action if the plan moves forward.
