Re: Oglala Sioux Tribe Gaming Ordinance Amendment; 

Ordinance No. 15-01 

Dear President Y ellowbird Steele: 

I am writing in response to your letter, dated February 20, 2015, and received by the National 

Indian Gaming Commission ("NIGC") on June 3, 2015. In your letter, you ask for review and approval 

of the Oglala Sioux Tribe Ordinance Amendment 15-01, which makes two technical corrections to the 

Oglala Sioux Tribe Gaming Ordinance No. 14-41, which was approved by the NIGC on December 15, 

2014. I want to thank you for submitting the technical corrections to your previously approved Ordinance 

for our review and approval. 

The Gaming Ordinance Amendment is approved as it is consistent with the Indian Gaming 

Regulatory Act and the NIGC regulations. 

If you have any question concerning this letter or the NIGC's ordinance amendment review 

process, please contact Katherine Zebell at (202) 632-7003.
