A deal that will see an Indian-run casino operate on an urban reserve is getting the green light from the city's top politician.

The Painted Hand Casino which operates in downtown Yorkton will be the second reserve-based casino but the first to operate in an urban municipality. The Bear Claw Casino on the White Bear Indian Reserve near Carlyle was the first Indian casino in the province.

The federal department of Indian and Northern Affairs has confirmed that a deal could be approved as soon as the middle of May.

The family of Wayne McArthur of Pheasant Rump First Nation, near Kisbey, Sask. have undertaken a labor of love - to prolong the life of the man who is either brother, son, father, husband, nephew or uncle to them all.

Sitting in her office under a dreamcatcher, Connie Braun looks back over the past year with pride and amazement.

"I can only say that this was all meant to be," she states with exuberance.
