Editorial: Urban casino in Grand Forks a good idea

Tuesday, June 8, 2004  

"A casino in Grand Forks would create that opportunity for the Turtle Mountain Chippewa. Their community is remote and hard to get to - three hours from Grand Forks or Winnipeg and 90 minutes from Minot - so it's not a good location for a casino.

Yet the Chippewa of Turtle Mountain want to benefit from Indian gaming just as other reservation communities have done. Grand Forks is a possibility for them because it lies within lands historically claimed by the tribe."
