One of the biggest casino resorts in North America has officially opened in Toronto, Canada’s biggest city.
And as Dan Karpenchuk reports, while some may be thrilled by the resort, it’s not sitting well with at least one first nation in Ontario.
A lithium mine company has filed a lawsuit against Native Americans organizing to stop construction of the Thacker Pass Mine in Nevada.
The mine would supply a core material needed to power a new fleet of electric vehicles in the U.S., but Native American activists say it will pollute the land and nearby communities. Christina Aanestad reports.

The grand opening of a new skatepark will take place on the land of Standing Rock tomorrow from 2-5 p.m.
The event will include an opening ceremony, skate clinic, a meal, T-shirts, and more.
The gift to the Standing Rock community was made possible by Jeff Ament’s organization Montana Pool Service and Nike.
To date, his charitable foundation has built more than 30 world-class skateparks in rural, isolated communities in Montana, and surrounding states including across Indian Country.
