Meskwaki voters urged to vote for new council
WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 2003
The appointed council of the Meskwaki Tribe of Iowa will hold a special election tomorrow but the elected council says it won't recognize the results.
The leadership dispute has prompted the National Indian Gaming Commission to order a closure of the tribe's casino. NIGC says it still recognizes the elected council as the rightful tribal government.
