Turtle Talk Poll: NIGA or Fed Bar?
Unfortunately, this year the annual conferences for the National Indian Gaming Association and the Federal Bar Association are during the same week, with NIGA in San Diego and Fed Bar at the Pojoaque Pueblo. Which conference are you going to?
Alternatively, this year many tribes and entities are feeling the pinch of budget cuts perhaps related to the downturn in the economy. Are you not going to either because of budget cuts?
