Proceeds will benefit Begay's health and wellness programs for Native American youths.

For additional information on overnight packages call 361-7711 or 1-800-771-7711.

EDITORIAL FOOTNOTE: The Oneidas' have a golf course, that the PGA can play on.

What about the Mohegans and our golf course? It isn't the quality to have such a tournament.

We (the Mohegan Tribe) paid how much for it?

Is it someplace, the Tribal Council and their friends go and hang out? Are they doing business for the MTGA or are they out having fun, at how many thousands of dollars in salary?

Are you one of their friends and played on the course? Do you know people who have? Was it a good deal for the members of the golf course? Is this fair to other tribal members? Does this happen? What do you think?
