History[edit]
In 2007, as a federally recognized tribe, the Pokagon Band were able to develop and Four Winds New Buffalo on the Pokagon Reservation, in New Buffalo Township in accordance with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and a compact with Michigan.[1][2] A second, satellite casino, Four Winds Hartford, opened on August 30, 2011,[3] and a third, Four Winds Dowagiac,[4] opened April 30, 2013.[5][6]
The band was limited to three casinos by its 2008 compact with the state of Michigan. It has since constructed a casino on lands that it claimed qualified for gaming pursuant to specific provisions of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, in South Bend, Indiana.[7] The band announced plans in 2012 to build this 164-acre 'tribal village', which includes housing, healthcare, and government facilities, and a casino and hotel.[8] Four Winds South Bend opened January 16, 2018.[9][10]
The Silver Creek Event Center at Four Winds New Buffalo offers an intimate, acoustically superior venue where you can catch some of the greatest names in show business. From rock to country to stand-up comedy, Silver Creek is the best place in the Michigan area to see your favorite act!
