Law professor comments on disputed Glendale casino


February 21, 2011

Professor of Practice Carl Artman, Director of the College of Law’s Economic Development in Indian Country Program, was quoted in a Feb. 3 Republic article entitled, “Glendale casino foes race clock in land spat,” by reporter Cecilia Chan.

The article discusses a dispute over a piece of land on which the Tohono O’odham Nation has proposed building a casino. However, before breaking ground, the tribe must guarantee reservation status of the land. Glendale and the Gila River Community have vehemently opposed the casino project since it was proposed two years ago, and the dispute is currently being waged in court.

Artman argued that, because of the extensive appeals process, the land is unlikely to be awarded to either side any time soon.

“The appeals process will take from three months to 12 months, perhaps 18 if some of the issues are remanded or new events occur,” Artman said.

Artman has served as the 10th Assistant Secretary – Indian Affairs for the U.S. Department of the Interior and as the Department’s Associate Solicitor for Indian Affairs. An enrolled member of the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin, Artman has worked for his tribe as Director of Federal Affairs, Chief Legal Counsel and as Chief Operating Officer of an Oneida Tribe-owned telecommunications venture.
