Tribes battle over Idaho gaming

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2002

The Shoshone-Bannock Nation of Idaho doesn't support a tribal gaming initiative.

Proposition 1 was funded by the Nez Perce Tribe and the Coeur d'Alene Tribe. It authorizes slot machines on reservations.

The Shoshone-Bannock Nation is in federal court to legalize the machines.
