As reported by the Gallup Independent: " - The Navajo Nation could have a
contract in place by next Friday to construct a temporary casino in Navajo,
Ariz., President Joe Shirley Jr. told the Economic Development Committee
Wednesday. "Shirley said though there had been a designation to have Nahata
Dziil be the home of the Navajo Nation's first casino, there are still land
issues which must be ironed out. "Shirley said the Nation had considered
borrowing the money through its own governmental set-up. ".Another area the
Nation is looking at very seriously is Shiprock."
