ELTON - A company based in Minnesota said Tuesday it has reached an agreement to build and manage a casino on the Coushatta Indian Tribe's reservation in Elton.
However, despite the release, Coushatta Administrator Paul Ruppert refused comment this morning until this agreement is taken under advisement by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
In a related development, Early Barbry, chief of the Tunica-Biloxi tribe near Marksville, confirmed that his tribe is considering building a casino on tribal lands but said he did not want to comment further.
