The White Shield casino will be named for Chief Son of Star, an Arikara leader who lived in the early 1800s.
"We came up with the (casino) name 'Son of Star,' because a lot of us are related to Son of Star. We come down from that lineage. So, we just thought we'd show some homage, I guess, to show respect for our culture and families.
- Fred Everett, CEO of Sahnish Development
When the casino opens next year, it will feature 230 slot machines, 6 table games, a poker room and a sportsbook. The Son of Star Casino will also have a steakhouse, a cafe, a gift shop and a campground. Future additions may include an 80-room hotel, an event ccenter and a convenience store.
