Koi Nation seeks to intervene in casino land trust lawsuit

The Koi Nation of Northern California is asking a federal court to intervene in a lawsuit challenging the Interior Department’s decision to take 70 acres into trust for its proposed casino and hotel project. The Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria argue the project threatens their ancestral land and cultural artifacts. The lawsuits have been consolidated as FIGR seeks to reverse the land trust decision.
