meeting with Gizietonamoog

Also this afternoon I was encouraged to meet with Gizietonamoog a friend of John and Joline. He is a native american from Cape cod area. I got a chance to sit and discuss the possibility of a documentary on why the Native Casino plan was rejected by the Maine voters and passed a
Racino proposed by a non-native organization. We discussed that because of a Land Claim agreement made between the tribes of maine and the federal government and in the agreement there are certain stipulations about tribal gaming. Under the land claim agreement the government can't inter fear with the tribes trying to make economic gains and a Casino is their tribal right and should get the opportunity to develop a plan for a Casino in the state of Maine.
