Will Rogers Downs to add KOA campgrounds
CLAREMORE — Cherokee Casino Will Rogers Downs has signed an agreement with Kampgrounds of America to designate 250 of the casino's 400 RV sites as KOA campgrounds.
The largest RV park in Oklahoma, Cherokee Casino Will Rogers Downs' park will be the only KOA campground in the country adjacent to a horse racing facility.
With the agreement, Cherokee Casino Will Rogers Downs will add several features to make the sites more family-friendly and familiar to KOA campers such as a playground, picnic tables, curbed parking, Wi-Fi Internet access and charcoal grills at each site.
Within the year, the casino will also add KOA Kamping Kabins, which are one- or two-room log cabins that provide covered sleeping quarters for campers.
Cherokee Casino Will Rogers Downs is now in its live racing season through May 23. Cherokee Casino Will Rogers Downs is scheduled to make all additions and improvements by April 15.
Library to celebrate American Indians

If this said--black news, white news or chinese news, someone would yell racism, but since its Indians, its o.k.
And its also ok, for my federal dollars to provide Indians free healthcare,even though I cannot afford health insurance for my family.

Essentially in Oklahoma, we've created two classes of citizenship — with the tribes and everyone else," he said. Rep. David Dank R-OKC

Ya know Tony, every story that is printed about a Native American tribe, whether it's something cultural or casino related, or anything in between, you somehow find a way to criticize. That, my friend, is what is actually racism. And Tulsandn, you are not far behind Tony. You two disgust me.

Tony,
I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you, but the DEFINITION of Oklahoma is 'red people'. The US Government and Constitution is what gives these inalienable rights to Native Americans. Oklahoma was by the way promised to the Five Civilized Tribes until the waters no longer ran. Last I checked, there is still water running in the State of Oklahoma. It was our land, stolen from us, and half of the promises STILL aren't rightfully being fulfilled. Seriously, if we were talking about Holocaust victims (and this IS the same thing) people would more readily call you out for what you are.
