To amend the shared law, the Shoshones may have to sign off on the change as well – but that point is disputed. The Northern Arapahos share a law and order code with their reservation cohabitants, the Eastern Shoshone Tribe. If tribal members vote to legalize liquor sales in the casino, which sits on the reservation’s border near Riverton, 15% of alcohol revenues would be earmarked for addiction recovery services and another 2% tax would go the tribal government, according to the council’s agenda.īut there are more hoops to jump through. The entire voting-age population of the Arapaho tribe is slated to convene Saturday in a General Council, or legislative meeting, to vote on a proposal to legalize alcohol sale within the reservation’s largest business, the Wind River Hotel and Casino.
The sale of alcohol is prohibited on the Wind River Indian Reservation, but the Northern Arapaho tribe is considering a bid to make an exception for drinking in the reservation’s largest casino.
