The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians is continuing its legal fight to secure a new casino.
On Monday, the tribe urged the D.C. Circuit Court to reverse a previous ruling by U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden that the Department of Interior was correct in its refusal to take into trust a pair of properties where the tribe sought to build retail casinos.
It’s the latest in the saga for the tribe to build casinos in New Boston, near Detroit Metropolitan Airport, as well as Lansing.
The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians is headquartered in Sault Ste. Marie. Specifically, they operate Kewadin Casinos, which have five locations throughout the Upper Peninsula.
