Tribes hope for two off-reservation casinos
Two Oregon tribes have applied to build off-reservation casinos, one near Ontario and one near Wilsonville.Members of the Burns Paiute tribe said Thursday that few details were available about the Ontario proposal.The applications meet an April 15 deadline set by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., chairman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, which approved legislation March 29 to eliminate off-reservation gambling for tribes with their own reservation land.Burns Paiute Tribal Chairman Dean Adams and a Bureau of Indian Affairs spokeswoman in Washington confirmed that the tribe headquartered in Burns has made a formal application to the BIA.Adams said the tribe, Oregon's smallest, soon would reveal a description and location for the proposed project.
