"The Catawba Indian Nation lost the first round in its attempt to build a casino on the tribe’s reservation, and despite the promise of an appeal, last month’s ruling by a circuit court judge dims the prospects that the tribe will prevail.
In January, the Catawbas – South Carolina’s only federally recognized tribe – sued the state and the head of the State Law Enforcement Division seeking the right to gamble and build a casino on the reservation, located east of Rock Hill along the Catawba River. The tribe and its attorneys contend that a clause in the 1993 land settlement with federal, state and local governments gives the Catawbas the right to establish a gambling operation on the reservation."
