The History of Bear Claw
Bear Claw Casino and Hotel was the very first casino, operated by a native group, to open in Saskatchewan, Canada in 1993. The venue was originally situated on the White Bear First Nations Golf Course in the group’s club house but in 1996 the casino and hotel moved to its current location. At the time there was a contentious battle over jurisdiction and casino activities between the First Nations Group and the provincial government.
Since then Bear Claw Casino and Hotel has been running successfully but in 2010 the hotel was renovated when the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority took over operations. It was then the first hotel ever to be operated by the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority.
