Members of the Navajo Nation who live in Utah don't want to be left out of the tribe's gaming initiatives.
The tribe has seen success with Fire Rock Navajo Casino, a facility near Gallup, New Mexico. More casinos are planned in New Mexico and Arizona.
But what about Utah? “It’s really sad,” Kenneth Maryboy, a San Juan County Commissioner and Navajo Nation Council delegate, told The Salt Lake City Weekly. He said Utah Navajos are "sort of like a stepchild to both sides of the government.”
Utah Navajos want to start a Class II bingo facility but appear to be facing opposition from the state, where nearly all forms of gaming are outlawed.
