New Native Casino Opening

A new casino hotel and conference centre will officially open this week in the Red Lake, Minnesota Reserve, north of Bemidji.

The new Seven Clans Casino is the second casino in the state to be built with all native funds, using a 31-million dollar loan Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Community, which runs Mystic Lake casino.

The complex is bringing 100 new full-time and part-time jobs to one of the poorest areas in Minnesota, with most of those jobs held by tribal members.
