California Indian Nations Gaming Association grows membership

Thursday, September 5, 2013  

The California Nations Indian Gaming Association is growing in size again.

The group's membership has changed over the years, with some of the more successful gaming tribes leaving the ranks. But four tribes -- the Dry Creek Band of Pomo Indians, the Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians, the Chemehuevi Tribe and the Middletown Rancheria -- have come back to CNIGA.

“CNIGA welcomes each of these tribal governments back to the association and we look forward to their participation and contributions,” Chairman Daniel J. Tucker said in a press release. “Together, CNIGA and our member tribes will continue our work to preserve and protect tribal sovereign rights now and for generations to come.”

CNIGA now represents 35 tribes, most of whom operate gaming facilities. The group appears to be the largest inter-tribal organization in California.
