Fort Sill Apache to finally get a reservation in New Mexico
Fort Sill Apache have won the right to establish a thirty acre reservation on their homelands in southern New Mexico. Members of the Fort Sill Apache Tribe are descended from the Chiricahua and Warm Springs Apaches, who originally lived in parts of New Mexico, Arizona and northern Mexico.
After surrender of the famous Apache leader, Geronimo, in the 1880s, they were first sent to prison camps in Florida, and later to Oklahoma.
“This is what I see as the start of a long journey home,” said Jeff Houser, chairman of the tribe whose headquarters are currently based in southwest Oklahoma. The Fort Sill have a 10-acre headquarters in Oklahoma and 120 acres of farmland, Houser said, but no reservation.
Illinois Casino Gaming Association (ICGA)
In 1990, the Illinois General Assembly passed the Riverboat Gambling Act, allowing for the operation of 10 riverboat casinos in Illinois. The Act allows for riverboat gambling upon any water within or on the border of the State of Illinois, other than Lake Michigan. Chicago area riverboats are located on the Des Plaines, Fox, Illinois and Mississippi Rivers.
You must be 21 years of age to board a riverboat that has gambling, and wagering must be cashless, so tokens and chips are used.
The Illinois Casino Gaming Association (ICGA) represents 7 of the 9 casinos currently operating in Illinois. The association coordinates industry initiatives, including advocacy and education on such issues as economic development, community service and responsible gaming. Continue reading
