Meskwaki faction says BIA agreed to election
MONDAY, JUNE 23, 2003

A faction of the Meskwaki Tribe of Iowa says the Bureau of Indian Affairs would agree to a new election if conducted fairly, a claim disputed by a rival Meskwaki group.

Two sides of the tribe are battling for control. The dispute has led to the shutdown of the tribe's lucrative casino, which has been closed for a month.
