"a devoted native american partner"

Let's wait another week to see what the devoted Native American opposition does. I feel sorry for the Navajo, with their dying coal-mining business. They can't be blamed for accepting the risk of loss in Wikieup in exchange for publicity about their availability elsewhere. Perhaps less amoral than profits from casinos. Navajo enterprises report to a committee consisting of only 8 of the 24 Council members, charged with audit responsibilities but not business decisions. NTEC has immunity from litigation, if anything goes wrong. Unless it was waived in the agreement with AZL. I'll have to take another look at it -- perhaps that's why it took a year to finalize. NTEC also must give hiring preference to Navajos, not to members of other tribes like the Hualapai. One of the few forms of discrimination that federal law permits.
