Araucanía official urges caution on proposed Mapuche casino

La Araucanía’s regional economy secretary Nelson Curiñir urged caution over Senator Francisco Huenchumilla’s proposal for a casino in Malleco province, Chile. The proposal would make a Mapuche council the concession holder; Curiñir said it should undergo parliamentary debate and analysis of available casino licences and the proposed allocation of 20% of gambling tax revenue.
