Have any native Americans attempted to get tribal status established in NH and then leverage that to open a casino?

Are there enough descendants of the original tribes left to do so?

Only takes a few...consider how they did it at Mohegan Sun.

The land where to former King's Grant would make a great spot to build a tribal casino: it's close to the Weirs but not too close.

Maybe they could do that with the drive in property and avoid digging artifacts all together.

This thread is about the Crazy Gringo, not casinos. There have been investigations and/or attempts to establish a tribal descendance, but none successful.

The best place for a casino was Rockingham with a separate exit off I-93 and rail from Boston. Halfway between MHT and BOS. It failed in the legislature, in part because the supporters' bill did not allow for any site competition, and in part because some would not support a casino under any circumstances.

Back to the Crazy Gringo...
