[edit] Merger

I feel that the article Emerald Queen Casino should be merged with Puyallup (tribe) as their is very little information pertaining to the casino and therefore, I do not feel that it is substantial enough to stand alone. T. White 09:15, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Please see comments on Talk:Muckleshoot in regards Native American article standards; there is no way the Emerald Queen Casino article should be merged with what should be an ethnographic article on the Puyallup people/culture; and even if there were an article on the Puyallup government - which there should be - the casino is still a different enough institution to be a separate article from any government page, since the tribe/band isn't only (presumably) about the casino.Skookum1 04:02, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

i find it extremely hard to believe that over 30% of Washington state's area belongs to the Puyallup reservation. That is definitely wrong data (the map image also shows a much smaller area.) Washington has an area of little over 75000 square miles while this article claims that the reservation is over 28000 square miles - gotto be wrong. If anyone has the correct data please act.
