The Soboba Band of Luise�o Indians in California is near a settlement of its water rights lawsuit.
In 2000, the tribe sued three water districts. Two of the three districts have now approved a settlement to ensure the tribe receives 9,000 acre-feet of water per year and $39 million.
As part of the deal, the tribe had originally sought to relocate its casino to a 128-acre site. But the tribe has dropped the proposal from the settlement.
