Little Pine seeks FSIN support

Little Pine First Nation is seeking support from the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations in their plans to build a casino complete with sports betting, 800 slot machines, a 200-room hotel and a 1,500-seat convention centre in Lloydminster. However that support did not come in October because of a lack of delegates at the FSIN assembly. The vote will likely take place in December. Chief Wayne Semaganis is asking for FSIN approval to make Little Pine First Nation the sole owner of the casino. All six First Nations casinos in the province are under the control of the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority, and share revenue with all bands.
