The Pinoleville Band of Pomo Indians of California says land the tribe is buying will not be used for a casino.
The tribe's deal for 105 acres near Ukiah sparked rumors of a casino. Chairwoman Leona Williams says the land was a former tribal village.
"The tribe has never planned or considered putting a casino on this land," Williams said in a statement quoted by the local press, which reported rumors of the casino.
