U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., is pushing new federal legislation restricting where American Indian tribes can locate casinos.

Kyl and U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., are pushing the Tribal Gaming Eligibility Act, which requires tribes to show a modern and ancestral connection to land they want to bring into trust and build casinos on.

The bill is in response to a number of tribal plans in western states for casinos on land not part of their existing reservations.

“Enough is enough when it comes to reservation shopping,” said Feinstein. “The fact is that some tribes have abused their unique right to operate casinos and have ignored the intent of Congress by taking land into trust miles away from their historical lands. This is done simply to produce the most profitable casino and the greatest number of potential gamblers, often with little regard to the local communities.”

The bill also comes as the Tohono O’odham Nation tries to build a new casino at 95th and Northern avenues in the West Valley. The O’odham tribe’s reservation is in Southern Arizona, but a 1986 federal law allows the tribe to acquire unincorporated land in the Phoenix area to bring into its reservation holdings to make up for past lands lost by the tribe.

The new casino is located on unincorporated land bounded by the cities of Glendale and Peoria. The casino would be located just north of Jobing.com Arena and University of Phoenix Stadium.

The city of Glendale is fighting the casino plans in court.
