WAYLAND TOWNSHIP, MI - Department of Indian Affairs Assistant Secretary Echo
Hawk announced yesterday the signing of a federal proclamation making 147 acres
in Allegan County an official reservation for the Gun Lake Tribe of Pottawatomi
Indians. The tribe is formally known as the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of
Pottawatomi Indians. The land had been transferred into federal trust earlier
this year by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
This is a long-awaited and important step for the tribe and their plans to build
a $200 million casino complex just 20 miles south of Grand Rapids.
Tribal spokesman James Nye says a groundbreaking is planned but has not been
scheduled yet.
