Developer: Tribes to continue fight to build Colorado casino

CONCHO, Okla. -- Time may be on the side of the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes' effort to build a casino near Denver International Airport in Colorado, the project's developer said.

Gov. Bill Owens has rejected the tribe's offer of $1 billion and the surrender of all land claims in exchange for acreage near the airport, but tribal officials still plan to continue their fight for the land swap, said Michael Brendzel, vice president of the Golden, Colo.-based Native American Land Group, the developer of the $400 million project.
