A spat between ranchers and Native American tribes is threatening to torpedo a special panel which seeks to keep construction projects from damaging tribal remains and antiquities.

The Tohono O'odham Nation will finally be able to conduct full-scale gaming at its new casino in Glendale. In an agreement announced this morning, the state will give up on its contention that the tribe acted illegally in building a casino in the Phoenix area.

A federal judge says a lawsuit pitting a southern Arizona tribe against the state over the tribe's Glendale casino will require a full trial to decide.

Tribes negotiate changes to gaming compact

A proposed amendment to Native American nations’ gaming compacts with the state could end a years-long dispute over the Tohono O’odham’s controversial casino in Glendale, but the tribe has not yet agreed to any changes, even as 10 others signed new agreements with Gov. Doug Ducey.

An assistant attorney general has admitted he deliberately destroyed notes of meetings with representatives of tribes trying to undermine the Tohono O’odham casino in Glendale.

The state’s gaming director wants a court order allowing him to pry into the decision by the Tohono O’odham Nation to buy land for a casino near Glendale.

A federal appeals court this morning on Tuesday slapped down yet another bid by state officials and other tribes to block the Tohono O'odham Nation from conducting full-blown gaming at its Glendale casino.

In a stunning setback for the state and other tribes, the U.S. House late Monday killed legislation which would have blocked the Tohono O’odham Nation from operating a casino on land it has adjacent to Glendale.

A bill that would block a casino project nearing completion in the western Phoenix suburbs is on the calendar for routine approval in the U.S. House of Representatives.
