As calls for community quarantines begin, many businesses like 7 Clans have struggled with timing and which social responsibility they serve first. “In the rural communities we serve, we have a lot of people that rely on us,” said Bruce Barnett, CEO of 7 Clans Casinos. “Including well over 700 employees for their livelihoods, in some cases our neighbors for their meals, and most importantly, our tribal elders and members.”
In just 14 years, 7 Clans has grown to include five casino venues, Oklahoma’s largest indoor waterpark/hotel/resort, restaurants, a credit union, and numerous other business ventures.
Chairman John Shotton has served as Chairman of the Otoe-Missouria Tribe for 13 of those years.
He added, “We have faced and overcome many challenges along the way to where we are today, and have overcome them all, all in the same way, together. We pray for all people affected by this devastating virus. We also pray for a rapid recovery to this national health and economic crisis.”
In addition to providing some pay and benefits, 7 Clans is in the process of forming a transition team to assist employees that will be affected by the closure in accessing all the benefits afforded them by the Coronavirus Relief Bill approved on Wednesday.
The casinos intend on reopening April 1, pending local and national events. Updates to those reopening times and future events, as well as regional updates to Covid-19, can be found at www.sevenclans.com.
