New York Tribe Resurrects Casino Plans

In New York, Shinnecock tribal members have voted to authorize the drafting of a gaming ordinance and the pursuit of a development partner for a casino somewhere in the tribe’s home area of Long Island. News reports indicate that exploratory talks may have started already, with a view to a possible partnership with the Seminoles. Jack Morris (l.), a partner with the Seminoles in Hard Rock Atlantic City, is also involved.
