More than 100 members of the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes traveled to the site of their first and only proposed resort and casino along I-84 to bless the land and people working on the project. The Shoshone-Paiute Tribes were joined by members of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, elected officials from nearby communities, and supporters of the project.

“Today, we asked the Creator to bless the land, our proposed project, and everyone who is helping make it a reality,” said Shoshone-Paiute Chairman Brian Mason. “Life in Duck Valley is full of challenges. We still have some tribal members living in homes without floors or running water.”
