Gun Lake Tribe celebrates 20 years of tribal sovereignty

August 25, 2019

The Gun Lake Tribe celebrated its twentieth anniversary as a federally-recognized tribe on Friday Aug 23. The tribe, formally named Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians, was granted recognition status by the Bureau of Indian Affairs on August 23, 1999.

Federal recognition of a tribe establishes a government-to-government relationship with the United States and protects the tribe's right of self-government. Reservation land is sovereign land owned by the tribe and held in trust by the federal government.

KEY DATES

August 23, 1999 - The Gun Lake Tribe received federal recognition

2000 - Tribe adopted its constitution

2001 - Tribe applied for protection of lands under the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.

Gun Lake Casino opens poker room

September 21, 2018

On September 14 the new poker room was opened at Gun Lake Casino. This is the newest of the other 40 card rooms in the state.

There are 100 people employed in the card room.

It is located in the previous area where Villa Pizza and Johnny Rockets were at the casino. It is a 3,500 square foot area.

Plans for the room were announced in May after the tribe had conducted research on what amenities and games guests were interested in. This resulted in developing a space for poker.

The casino property has worked many times on projects to renovate and expand the gaming venue. In 2016 $76 million was spent to bring more slot machines and table games. Last year plans for a new parking structure were announced.

Gun Lake Casino opened in 2011. It is located south of Grand Rapids by nearly 25 miles.

Warning: You must ensure you meet all age and other regulatory requirements before entering a casino or placing a wager. There are hundreds of jurisdictions in the world with Internet access and hundreds of different games and gambling opportunities available on the Internet. Do not assume that Internet gaming sites are in compliance with the rules and regulations of every jurisdiction from which they accept players. YOU are responsible for determining if it is legal for YOU to play any particular game or place any particular wager under the laws of the jurisdiction where you are located.

Indian Nations are the front-line regulators of Indian gaming. They have placed the highest priority on the security of the industry.

No one has a greater interest in protecting the integrity of Indian gaming than the Tribes themselves. It is the most precious economic resource they’ve ever had. Tribes have agreed to allow the federal government to play a role in overseeing Indian gaming, but they will never rely on the federal government to be the primary protector against crime.

Indian gaming is already subject to more stringent regulation and security controls than any other type of gaming in the United States.

Tribal gaming operations are regulated at four distinct levels – Tribal government, state government, the National Indian Gaming Commission and federal government agencies such as the U.S. Justice Department, the FBI, the IRS and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Indian Nations, such as the Gun Lake Tribe, have established their own gaming commissions and have developed Tribal police forces and Court Systems to combat crime. Many Tribes have invested heavily in high-tech surveillance equipment. Because Indian Gaming (Class III) is a new emerging industry, only new “state of the art” electronic equipment and machines are in use. Indian Nations have established Industry Standards and Internal Controls. Tribes have more personnel by far regulating Tribal casinos than regulate Nevada casinos.

Compacts between states and Tribes give states some regulatory power over Indian gaming, though IGRA recognizes that the federal government has primary responsibility for government-to-government relations with sovereign Indian nations.

IGRA created three classes of gaming:

Class I – social games solely for prizes of minimal value or traditional forms of Indian gaming as a part of Tribal ceremonies or celebrations; Class II – bingo and related games, including pulltabs, lotto, punch boards, tip jars, instant bingo and some card games, excluding house banking card games such as blackjack and baccarat; and Class III – all forms of gaming that are not Class I or Class II, including slot machines and blackjack.

The National Indian Gaming Commission has extensive regulatory requirements for Tribal gaming operations and must give final approval to all Indian casino management contracts.

Gun Lake Casino

Class I gaming is regulated solely by Tribes. Class II gaming is regulated solely by Tribes if they meet conditions set forth in IGRA. Regulation of Class III gaming is governed by Tribal-state compact.

Gaming holds some hope for reducing Indian poverty, but it is not a panacea. Less than 1/3 of all Indian Nations have gaming operations. More states have lotteries (37) than have Indian gaming (21). Second, even where Tribes have built thriving gaming businesses, these limited and perhaps temporary successes cannot quickly reverse centuries of failed economics.
