Big Gamble


Martha's Vineyard's Wampanoag Tribe is asserting its "inherent right" and intention to apply for a casino license in Aquinnah, formerly Gay Head, along with additional sites on the mainland.

According to the tribe's Aquinnah Gaming web site:
"The Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) has a long history as a responsible and respectful neighbor and friend.  The Tribe continually strives to ensure that the interests of not only its tribal members, but those of the surrounding community are appropriately acknowledged and responsibly addressed.  The advancement of the Tribe’s gaming interests are foundationally grounded in this same philosophy and it is the Tribe’s intent to honor and respect the concerns of community members to ensure that a long, prosperous and symbiotic relationship between the Tribe and the host community can be advanced."
Please, no.
