Timbisha Shoshone Tribe is facing a tough road with a proposed off-reservation casino in California.
According to The Ridgecrest Daily Independent, nearly every member of the public expressed opposition to the project at a city council meeting on Wednesday, prompting officials to delay action on a proposed municipal services agreement with the tribe.
The issue will now be considered at a special meeting on Wednesday, the paper said.
The tribe hopes to open a casino along North China Lake Boulevard in Ridgecrest, California, and near the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake. A land-into-trust application will be submitted to the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
The tribe has a reservation in Death Valley National Park but it has to look elsewhere for economic development due to restrictions there.
