The United States Department of Interior, through the Bureau of Indian Affairs, has decided to take 397.77 acres of land in the City of Pine Island, Minnesota, into trust for the Prairie Island Indian Community. This area, known as the Elk Run Site, will be used for gaming and other purposes. The acquisition is being made under the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 and fulfills all necessary Departmental requirements. The legal details and descriptions of the land parcels involved are provided to comply with federal regulations.
Simple Explanation
The government is giving a big piece of land to a Native American group in Minnesota, so they can build a casino and do other things, but it's not clear what those other things are.
