Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley Jr. believes tribal members will eventually approve gaming for the entire reservation.
Voters will get a chance to prove Shirley right, or wrong, this fall. The Navajo Nation council schedule a referendum August 3 on gaming.
Two prior referendums have failed. But Shirley pointed out that the margin between those who support gambling and those against it is closing in.
The tribe has approved gaming for a community near Albuquerque, New Mexico, that is detached from the main reservation.
