The Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma on Monday filed suit seeking more than 1,920 acres of land near Kansas City, Kansas.

Named in the lawsuit are the Kansas City government and a number of private owners. The tribe says the land belongs to them under an 1855 treaty.

The tribe has been trying to open a casino in Kansas but is being opposed by the governor and the federally recognized tribes in the state.
