20-Aug-05. Band vote challenged. Calgary Sun, 10.

Three elderly sisters protesting a planned Stoney First Nation casino allege the resort was approved by a fraudulent vote. They are calling on Indian Affairs to investigate the casino vote which they say included only 1,331 band members out of 2,144 eligible to cast a ballot. The land where the $27-million casino is to be built traditionally belongs to the three sisters.
