Bay Mills Indian Community to appeal decision against casino

Thursday, March 31, 2011
Filed Under: Casino Stalker | Litigation

The Bay Mills Indian Community of Michigan will ask the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals for permission to reopen its off-reservation casino.

The tribe shut down its casino in Vanderbilt on Tuesday. A federal judge ruled that the gaming site is not on Indian land, as required by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.

The tribe acknowledges it didn't go through the land-into-trust process for the casino. But it says it acquired the site in connection with a land claim settlement.

A similar issue arose in New York with the Seneca Nation, whose off-reservation casino is still being challenged in court.
