“This is an amendment that basically seeks to preserve tribal Indian land as a cemetery and burial ground in Kansas City, KA. It is a very contentious issue there. But this is and has been an Indian burial ground since 1855. There are plans to put a casino on it now. This is being contested. But clearly the land should remain a tribal ancestral land. We put forth this amendment to do that. I believe we have consent from all sides and all parties for this amendment to be agreed to.”
