Tribe finds partners for off-reservation casino

Thursday, February 17, 2005  

The Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa has entered into a development and management partnership for an off-reservation casino near Grand Forks, North Dakota.

The tribe is working with the Useldinger brothers, who are offering 400 acres south of the city for the project. The Useldingers will also help pay for a study of the economic impact of the casino.

The tribe needs state and federal approval for off-reservation gaming. Other tribes in the state are opposed to the idea.
