Dear Chairman DeRoin: 

This letter responds to your request to the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) for 

the review and approval of the amendment' to the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska's (Tribe) 

tribal gaming ordinance. The amendment to the ordinance was adopted by the Tribe by 

Resolution No. 00-R-01 on January 26, 2000. The original Ordinance was approved 

by the Chairman of the NIGC on June 2 1, 1994. The NIGC received the amendment for 

review on February 22, 2000. This letter constitutes approval of your submission under 

the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA). Such approval does not constitute approval of 

specific games. It is important to note that the gaming ordinance is approved for gaming 

only on Indian lands, as defined in the IGRA, over which the Tribe exercises jurisdiction. 

Thank you for submitting the amendment to the tribal gaming ordinance of the Iowa Tribe of 

Kansas and Nebraska for review and approval. The NIGC staff and I look forward to working 

with you and the Tribe in implementing the IGRA. If you have questions or require further 

assistance, please contact Ms. Frances Fragua at 2021632-7003.
