The Coeur d'Alene Tribe will not host its annual Julyamsh powwow this year.

Helo Hancock, the tribe’s legislative director, told The Press the 2015 powwow was canceled because an alternate location to the Greyhound Park and Event Center in Post Falls could not be found in time for adequate planning to take place for the July event. 

“The decision was made to move Julyamsh away from Greyhound Park because the Tribe cannot condone the illegal activity taking place there, nor can the Tribe condone the hostile and belligerent statements made recently by the Greyhound Park manager about the Tribe and Indian gaming,” Hancock stated, in a message to The Press.

The Tribe and park officials have been at odds since legislation passed in 2013 allowed “historical horse-racing” gaming machines to be installed at the park in Post Falls. Several dozen of the machines, which look like video slot games, were installed last year.
