The Timbisha Shoshone tribe of Death Valley has buried the hatchet, so to speak, with the city of Ridgecrest, California over its controversial casino plans.

The two sides have been at odds for more than a year after Ridgecrest suddenly flipped on plans to allow the casino to be built following two years of work. It seems city officials may have come to the conclusion that they had a lot more to lose than just a gambling house if they kept the project from moving forward.
