The Pokagon Band is the only recognized tribe in the State of Indiana. We can compete evenly with everybody else,” said Tribal Chairman Matt Wesaw.
Now we are, you know, we’re on a level playing field. You know, being the only Native American one, we were class two with only poker. “Symbolically, we are now on the same level as every other commercial (casino) in the state. “The tables alone, I believe it’s about 150-additional jobs, plus or minus, just now, because of what we just did here, and more to come.”Ī tribe that has been contributing to the local and state economy since the days of fur trading, is only now a bone fide member of the casino community. A combination of roulette, blackjack, craps, electronic table games,” said Four Winds CEO Frank Freedman.
