Gaming executive leaves Pascua Yaqui Tribe

Friday, July 21, 2006  

For the second time in recent months, the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona has lost its chief gaming executive officer.

Edmund Miranda resigned last November. He was replaced by William Walsh, who resigned on Monday.

Acting as CEO for now is Wendell Long, a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. He was an executive at the casino owned by the Prairie Island Indian Community in Minnesota.

The Pascua Yaqui Tribe isn't the only tribe in Arizona seeing changes in its gaming management. The Tohono O'odham Nation just hired its third CEO in less than a year.
