The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community of Minnesota has awarded a $1 million grant to the National Indian Gaming Association.
The money will help NIGA with its new headquarters in Washington, D.C. The building is near the U.S. Capitol.
"This new center will accommodate meeting space for 150 tribal leaders, a board room to accommodate 40 people, and several new offices. This project is expected to cost between $2.5 and $3 million and will ensure that NIGA’s headquarters are available as a meeting resource for tribal leaders for decades to come,” NIGA Chairman Ernie Stevens, Jr. said in a press release.
The tribe recently awarded a $325,000 grant to NIGA.
