(AP) - The Cherokee N ation’s attorney general said last w eek h e’ll appeal a federal decision to place casino land o f a rival tribe into trust, a move that recognizes the parcel as In dian land. ,. A tto rn ey G eneral T odd H embree said last week deci sion by the Bureau o f Indian Affairs to place roughly two a&res into trust is n o t sup ported by law. T h e decision keeps the United Keetoow ah Band o f Cherokees’ namesake casino open in Tahlequah for at least a n o th e r year, w h en th e 15,000-m em ber tribe m ust have the land placed in a fi lial trust status after any ap peals have been settled. The BIA granted the status M on day after deciding th at the Cherokees and K eetoow ah Band share the same form er reservation land. “This decision is every thing to us,” said UKB spokes man Thomas Jordan. ‘Instead o f looking over our shoulder, we’re moving ahead.” T h e K e e to o w a h s, w h o trace their history to Chero kees w ho settled in Indian Territory in the 1820s, have fought for decades over the Keetoowah Cherokee Casino, which opened in 1986. The Cherokee N ation has argued the casino is illegal. “Tim e after time, courts have held it is the Cherokee N ation, and no other tribe, that has jurisdiction over this lan d ,” H em b ree said in a statement. “I look forward to appealing this decision. It is fraught with legal misconcep tions.” A federal judge had given the tribe until Tuesday to win the status. In June, the tribe reached an agreem ent w ith O k lah o m a’s atto rn e y g en eral in which the tribe w ould pay $2 m illion in damages and agree to close the ca sino if it h a d n ’t o b tain ed federal tru st status. Placing the land in tru st recognizes it as In d ian land, w hich is required under state law for a casino. Coushatta Indian pays $250K for fire LAFAYETTE, La.
