Wyandotte Nation seeks seized assets
An attorney for the Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma asked a federal judge Monday to force the state of Kansas to return cash and gambling machines seized when officials shut down a tribal casino in Kansas City. The hearing was the latest episode in a legal battle over the tribe's efforts to operate casino gambling in Kansas despite opposition from the state and four other tribes that have their own casinos. Although the Wyandottes' headquarters are in Oklahoma, the tribe has Kansas roots going back to the 19th century. [more]
