Narragansett tribe seeks promised gaming money from state
Providence, Rhode Island (AP)
The Narragansett Tribe wants to collect about $1.4 million in gambling money from the state that it has refused to take for years, the tribe’s leader said during May. Federal funding for the 2,700-member American Indian tribe has declined from a peak of roughly $7.5 million in 1997 to $5.5 million this year, Chief Sachem Matthew Thomas said. As a result, he said the Narragansett tribe would benefit from the promised state aid. |
