He was the creative force behind many of our businesses, the kinds of ventures that have allowed us to thrive as we move forward into the 21st century. He was our “mastermind.” Matheson was the primary impetus for the building of the extremely successful Coeur d’Alene Casino as well as the Circling Raven Golf Club, both of which have been of tremendous service to the Tribe as well as its individual members.

During the years 1990 to 1993, he was the Director of the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs while working for President George H.W. Bush’s administration. “Dave was my mentor,” is something that Coeur d’Alene Tribe member and CEO of the Coeur d’Alene Casino Laura Penney has said about her relationship with Dave. “I gained a great deal of knowledge from him regarding how to interact with people and how to be an influential leader who is also kind.
