N.D. won't allow tribal casino boat

MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 2002

The Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation can't open a casino boat without changes in state law, according to North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem.

The tribe wants to operate a boat on Lake Sakakawea. Stenehjem's opinion effectively concludes that the lake is not part of the Fort Berthold Reservation.
