Tribes Seek Ohio Land for Casinos Amid Treaty Claims
Oklahoma based Eastern Shawnee Wyandot and Ottawa tribes push to place ancestral lands in federal trust to open casinos in Ohio and nearby markets. They cite treaties from 1795 to 1818 and seek deals with Ohio officials and state government though Taft opposes expanded gambling. Plans include a $750 million casino complex along I 75 and a $145 million project near Botkins, with others in northern Ohio.
