A panel at the National Indian Gaming Association conference focused on land-into-trust.
The Indian
Gaming Regulatory Act requires casinos to be on "Indian land."
For newly recognized tribes, that means going through the land-into-trust process.
But the U.S. Supreme Court
decision in Carcieri
v. Salazar placed doubts for the newly recognized
Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and others.
The ruling requires a tribe to be "under federal jurisdiction" as of 1934 to follow the land-into-trust process.
Tribes are pushing Congress to fix the decision but the bill has failed to pass for the last three years.
