| A Band of Native Americans Give Back | ||||
A band of Native Americans are giving back to the land and its people. The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians and the Four Winds Casino Resort in New Buffalo launched the Pokagon Fund. It goes above and beyond what Michigan provides in money for the area. The fund is open to cities and non-profit groups including the arts and culture and health services. It aims at enhancing people’s lives. Pokagon Fund Executive Director Mary Dunbar says, “We’re really looking forward to seeing the kinds of applications that come through. Right now we don’t know what kinds of projects we’ll be funding and we look forward to receiving applications.” The fund comes from electronic gaming money at the Casino Resort.
