Newton asks for Indian tribal recognition Bookmark and Share
Richmond, Virginia (AP)

“Mr. Las Vegas” Wayne Newton is asking legislators in his home state of Virginia to grant state recognition to his Indian tribe.

The entertainer appealed Feb. 2 to the House Rules Committee to officially recognize the Patawomeck, or Potomac, tribe, of which he is a member. Committee members voted unanimously in favor of the recognition, which has been given to eight Virginia tribes.
