Cherokee Tribal Council House 

P.O. Box 455 

Cherokee, North Carolina 28719 

Dear Chief Taylor: 

This letter responds to your request to review and approve the 

tribal gaming ordinance adopted by the Eastern Band of Cherokee 

Indians (the Band) on May 11, 1994. This letter constitutes such 

approval under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA). 

Under the IGRA and the regulations of the National Indian Gaming 

Commission (NIGC), the Chairman is directed to review ordinances 

with respect to the requirements of the IGRA and the implementing 

regulations. Thus, the scope of the Chairman's review and 

approval is limited to the requirements of the IGRA and the NIGC 

regulations. Provisions other than those required under the IGRA 

or the NIGC regulations that may be included in a tribal 

ordinance are not subject to review and approval. Such approval 

does not constitute approval of specific games. Also, the gaming 

ordinance is approved for gaming only on Indian lands as defined 

in the IGRA. 

It is important to note that while we have approved the Band's 

gaming ordinance, the Band must still submit a description of 

procedures for resolving disputes between the gaming public and 

the tribe pursuant to 25 C.F.R. S 522.2(f). Also, if the 

ordinance governs an existing operation, the Band must submit 

financial statements for the previous fiscal year and the most 

recent audit report and management letter. 

With the Chairman's approval of the Band's gaming ordinance, the 

Band is now required to conduct background investigations on its 

key employees and primary management officials. The NIGC expects 

to receive a completed application for each key employee and 

primary management official pursuant to 25 C.F.R. S 556.5(a) and 

an investigative report on each background investigation before 

issuing a license to a key employee or primary management 

official pursuant to 25 C.F.R. S 556.5(b).
