The Spirit Lake Tribe is against legislation that would allow the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa to have a casino in Grand Forks.

“The introduction of a new gaming facility in Grand Forks County threatens to diver critical revenue away from existing tribal casinos, including the Spirit Lake Casino and Resort, potentially jeopardizing the financial stability of tribal nations reliant on gaming for essential services” Tribal Chairwoman Lonna Street said in a release.

The Spirit Lake Tribe has its headquarters in Fort Totten, North Dakota, and the tribal lands are on the southern shore of Devils Lake, about 100 miles west of Grand Forks.
