JUNE 2, 2000 The Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas has declared a state of emergency due to drought conditions and has asked President Clinton to declare a state of emergency for the Delaware River Basin, including the 30-mile reservation. High heat and lack of rain have contributed to the tribe's water problems. The declaration was made on Thursday. Currently, the tribe has no plans to shut down its Golden Eagle casino but has ordered residents to stop washing vehicles and watering lawns and gardens. The tribe is also discussing potential sites to drill wells with the Kansas Water Office and the Kansas Geological Survey. Get the Story:
