The Saginaw Chippewa Tribe of Michigan shared over $700,000 in gaming revenues with local governments and school districts.
The tribe distributes 2 percent of slot machine revenues twice a year. “This is just one way we can help the people in our area,” Chief Fred Cantu told WNEM-TV. “It’s something we are happy and proud to do.”
Recipients included the Arenac Eastern School District, which plans to use over $100,000 for computers and other projects. Arenac County plans to use $80,000 for housing and improvement projects.
