New Muscogee Principal Chief on the Kialegee Casino

New Principal Chief George Phillip Tiger on the proposed Kialegee casino in Broken Arrow:

He told members of the media that there is “a lot of misinformation out there.”

The Nation is currently conducting a study on the proposed casino and won’t discuss the issue until that study is finished, Tiger said.

Sounds like the new administration may take a softer line than the previous administration of A.D. Ellis, who vocally opposed the casino before he left office at the end of last year, arguing that the casino would harm the Creek’s RiverSpirit Casino.

The Kialegees are a federally recognized tribe, but also hold citizenship in the Creek Nation.
