26-Oct-05. Sisters refuse to enter talks with Stoney band on casino. Calgary Herald, B6.

Construction of a $27-million casino on the Stoney reserve is on hold indefinitely while the band executive attempts to deal with a protest by three native elders. The sisters have been protesting the casino project since last June and claim that the land is both sacred and sentimental to their family. They claim that the tribal council approved the casino without proper consultation with the community and its elders.
