Under the new terms, the tribe will give the state a bigger share of its casino revenue after negotiating a deal with Governor Susana Martinez’s administration.
The new agreement ends a fight in which millions of dollars were at stake as Pojoaque Pueblo tried to assert tribal sovereignty issues, claiming that even though other tribes were willing to share slot machine winnings in exchange for the state keeping casino gambling an exclusively Indian-owned enterprise, it shouldn’t be forced to accede to the state’s demands.
Under the old compact, Pojoaque Pueblo paid to the state 8 percent of what is known as “net win” — revenue from gambling as calculated through a specific formula in the compacts. The new agreement would require the tribe to share 10.75 percent.
Seven pueblos, the Navajo Nation as well as the Jicarilla and Mescalero Apache have signed on to the same agreement.
