5-Aug-05. Elders going to court to fight casino. Calgary Herald, B2.

A Stoney First Nation family is prepared to seek a court injunction to stop the planned development of a casino on reserve land west of Calgary. Lawyer Christine Goodwin is representing the three native elders and says the family will attempt to keep the $27-million hotel and casino complex off of what they consider traditional family land. The Nakoda Entertainment Resort has been granted approval by the province and has fulfilled all the requirements of the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission.
