JULY 7, 2000 The Naragansett Tribe of Rhode Island stated again that they want to use land involved in a recent court dispute for housing not for building a casino. The tribe is continuing building their housing units and hopes to have them occupied soon. The Governor of Rhode Island has requested that the tribe put in writing that they will not open gaming operations on this land, but the tribe refuses to do so, although they have given multiple verbal statements that they will not open a casino on this land. The state of Rhode Island will continue to appeal the recent decision by the Department of Interior Board of Appeals. The ruling upheld the Interior Department's decision to put the 32 acres of land near Charlestown into trust for the tribe.
