The City of Glendale is facing with a lawsuit filed by the Tohono O'odham Indian Nation. The latest of the dispute is about the casino that the Arizona Indian Tribes would want to build in the West of Phoenix.

The suit was filed in Maricopa County Superior Court where they required the court to rule out the claim of the city to posses some kind of annexation and jurisdiction to the land where they are planning to build a casino at.

Since the Indian Tribes are answerable and controlled only by Federal law, the local law of Glendale will not in any way prevent them from opening a casino in the place that they are requiring over now. This is because the 1983 Federal law permits the O'odham tribes to operate in the land which has been unincorporated in the Maricopa Country for Federal designation in a way to be used for the Indian Reservation.

The tribe had purchased a land to build up a casino in the year 2001; however, the City of Glendale had annexed the land to its incorporation and they did not know of the lawsuit and they claimed that they came to be aware of it only after the tribes declared it to the media.

It is expected that nearly thousands of new jobs will be created if the casino was built and it will pave way for a $300 million in annual revenue.

The tribal chairman Ned Norris Jr. remarked in a statement that the nations are prepared and determined to not permit the City Of Glendale's baseless approach to prevent them from establishing a casino which will create more jobs and also will help to rejuvenate the regional economy.

The additional punch is that after a series of record searches it was found that the land was not incorporated.
