Tesuque Pueblo in New Mexico has finished work on a new church to replace the one that burned in a fire two years ago.
The tribe used gaming money to build the $1.2 million structure. It will be ready for the tribe's annual feast on Saturday.
The church that burned was built in 1888. Two men were charged with arson for setting fire to it.
