Staff for New York Gov. George Pataki (R) has met with two Wisconsin tribes to discuss settling land claims and a possible casino in the Catskills.

Sources said staff met with the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians and the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin. Both have ancestral ties to New York and have standing land claims.

The Stockbridge-Munsee Band wants to open one of three casinos in the Catskills. Sources said Pataki's staff has suggested the two tribes partner to develop one casino.
