Nebraska challenges Ponca's plans for Carter Lake casino
January 30, 2008OMAHA, NE - The Nebraska attorney general has filed suit in
the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa to block the
decision by the National Indian Gaming Commission for the Ponca Tribe to build a
casino in Carter Lake, Iowa. Carter Lake is a few miles northeast of Omaha on
the Nebraska side of the Missouri River.
The Indian Gaming Commission ruled last month that the 5 acres of tribal land in
Carter Lake was placed in trust with the federal government and qualified for a
casino under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
Attorney General Jon Bruning said "Nebraskans have repeatedly said 'no' to
casino gambling in our state. The Ponca Tribe shouldn't be able to circumvent
voters' wishes." He further said the location of Carter Lake can only be
accessed by driving through Nebraska.
Ponca Chairman Larry Wright Jr. recently wrote to tribal members that the Ponca
look forward to the possibility of gaming. "After careful consideration, the
Tribal Council determined that it had a responsibility to explore its right to
conduct gaming under (the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act) as a means to ensure the
health and welfare of the Ponca Tribe and its people."
About the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska
The Ponca has about 2,500 members in Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota. They
received federal reconition as a tirbe in 1990. For more information, visit
