The Wyandotte Nation of
Oklahoma won't object to the dismissal of a lawsuit over its off-reservation gaming site in Kansas.
The tribe, however, has said that it will continue to pursue a land-into-trust application for the 10.5-acre site in Park City. A document filed in federal court on Friday indicates additional information can be submitted to the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
The tribe acquired the site in connection with a land claim settlement act.
Assistant Secretary Kevin Washburn, however, said the record wasn't clear on the source of the funds.
The tribe previously acquired a site in downtown Kansas City and opened the 7th Street Casino, a
Class II facility, there.
