- AWESOME! The (Casino-money enriched) Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community is purchasing land in Scott County at a pace that's worrying Shakopee city leaders. (It)...is recovering, acre by acre in the southwest metro, portions of the land its ancestors once lost to European settlers, and meticulously returning it to age-old looks and uses... Civic leaders in Shakopee ...wonder if the tribe is engaged in a shrewd chess game to block Shakopee's development plans, then move out into open countryside to start reacquiring vast stretches of ancestral land..."It appears they're out to garner as much as they can get, wherever they can get it. And they have the war chest to do that."
"This land," he said, "was taken by the point of a gun -- and we are buying it back with American dollars."
