Michigan Gambling History

The Racing Act of 1933 brought legalized gambling to Michigan. This created the Office of Racing Commissioner and pari-mutuel pools for horseracing. Horseracing peaked in the mid-1900’s. It began a decline after tribal casinos started to open in the 1990’s. There are just three racetracks that hold live races each year while a fourth one remains in limbo.

Voters approved a state lottery on May 16, 1972. The first scratch-off ticket was sold on October 7, 1975. The first lotto ticket was sold for a Pick 3 drawing on June 6, 1977. Michigan joined interstate lotto pools on June 11, 1996. Pull tabs and keno games were installed at bars in 2003. The Michigan Lottery launched internet games in 2014. This includes the sale of lotto drawing tickets. There are also instant games that mimic slots and a video keno game available on the Michigan Lottery website.

Act 382 was passed in 1972. It permitted charities to spread games of chance to raise funds for nonprofit organizations. Bingo, raffles and other drawings. Casino-style gaming was added to charity laws in 2007.

The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe opened the first reservation casino in Mt. Pleasant in 1993. Gaming eventually expanded to more than a dozen tribes in 20 locations. In November 1996, voters approved the expansion of gambling to Detroit. Three Michigan casinos operate there today. The original tax rate for Detroit casinos was 18 percent. It was raised to 24 percent in 2004.Michigan enacted a smoking ban on May 1, 2010. The law exempts Detroit casinos. This was done because state smoking bans do not apply to reservations and would have left Detroit casinos at a competitive disadvantage.

Little River Band of Ottawa Indians is a federally recognized Native American tribe of the Odawa people in the United States. It is based in Manistee and Mason counties in northwest Michigan. It was recognized on September 21, 1994.

It is one of three federally recognized tribes of Odawa people in Michigan. The others are the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians and the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians. Other bands with federal status include the Ottawa Tribe of Oklahoma and several First Nations in Ontario, Canada. They historically spoke the Odawa language, a dialect of Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe), but use of this language has declined.

History[edit]

This area around the Manistee River was long occupied by bands of Ottawa and Chippewa (Ojibwe) before European colonization. French fur traders visited the villages during the historic period.

In 1836 the Ottawas were assigned a reservation along the Manistee River by a treaty with the United States government which was part of the tribe's historic range. The treaty provided reservation lands for five years and provisions to move tribal members west beyond the Missouri River, however a new treaty was ratified in 1855. The new treaty provided the tribe with a reservation that included Custer and Eden townships in Mason County and Crystal and Elbridge townships in Oceana County. Part of that land came back under tribal ownership in August 2000 when the Little River Band bought about 740 acres in Mason County.^[2]

The Little River Band of Ottawa Indians is one of 567 federally recognized tribes of Native Americans in the United States.^[3][4] On September 21, 1994, the tribal status of the Little River Band (along with that of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians) was reaffirmed by the federal government when President Bill Clinton signed Senate Bill 1357 into law.^[5]

Since January 1994 the Little River Band has published a monthly newspaper, Currents. All editions are available on the official tribal website.

Tribal government[edit]

The Band is the successor apparent to nine of the 19 historical Grand River Bands of Ottawa peoples who lived along the Thornapple, Grand, White, Pere Marquette, Manistee and its tributary Little Manistee rivers. The Little River Band operates its own constitutional government; it has three parts: executive, legislative and judicial.^[6] The Band holds regular elections for a nine-member legislative council and an Ogemakaan (Elected Chief). There is a separate but equal elected judicial branch.^[7] The government has 28 different departments dealing with various programs and processes necessary to running a modern government.

Membership[edit]

The Tribal Council has set the membership rules, based on blood quantum and descent from historic bands of the region. Persons are eligible if 1/4 Native American, with at least 1/8 from Grand River Ottawa or Michigan Ottawa; and direct descent from a Native American of Manistee, Mason, Wexford or Lake Counties in the State of Michigan, who was listed on the schedule of Grand River Ottawa in the 'Durant Roll of 1908;' or is a lineal descendant of individuals listed on the '1870 Annuity Payrolls of Chippewas and Ottawas of Michigan,' listed under certain Ottawa chiefs; and is not enrolled in another tribe. The Tribe also accepts: 'Any child who is less than18 years of age, who meets the membership criteria in Section 1, shall be eligible for membership,notwithstanding such adoption.'^[8]

Language[edit]

The Little River Band's original language Anishinaabemowin, an Algonquian language, is designated as 'critically endangered' by the 2010 Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).^[9] Few elders and other members can still speak the full language. The Band is spread out far beyond their reservation, living in areas among the majority English-speaking culture, and the language is not commonly used.

Little River Casino Resort[edit]

On December 3, 1998, Governor John Engler signed a compact between the Little River Band and the State of Michigan allowing gaming on reservation property; these efforts were spearheaded by Tribal Member Robert Guenthardt, who served as Head Chairperson, and would soon become the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians' first elected Ogema. In 1999 the Band opened the Little River Casino Resort on its Manistee Reservation. Since its opening the resort has expanded in multiple stages to more than 23,000 square feet of space. Its complex includes a 292-room luxury hotel, a 1,700-seat event center, and an expanding collection of slots and table games. The tribe has invested revenues from its gaming operations for economic development and to support the well-being of its people
