On January 18, 2012, Marsha Kelly, a consultant with the MN Indian Gaming Association, spoke to Great River Rotary.  She informed Great River Rotarians about the Native American and tribe population in MN. The Tribes are the 6th largest employer in MN, creating over 40,000 direct and indirect jobs. Ninety-five percent of the jobs are full-time with benefits.  Ms. Kelly also stated that the Tribes pay over $150 miillion annually in federal and state taxes.
