RE: Approval of Ordinance Amendment of the Bear River Band of Rohnerville Rancheria 

Dear Chairperson Moon: 

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

for the review and approval of an amendment to the Bear River Band of Rohnerville 

Rancheria's (Rancheria) tribal gaming ordinance submitted on March 28, 2001. The 

Chairman of the NIGC approved the original Ordinance on February 6, 1996. 

The amendment to the ordinance was adopted by the Rancheria by Resolution No. 01-15 

on March 26, 2001. Resolution No. 01-09 was also submitted but amended by 

Resolution No. 0 1 - 15, so therefore no action was taken on Resolution No. 0 1-09. 

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 Rancheria exercises jurisdiction. 

Thank you for submitting the amendment to the tribal gaming ordinance of the Bear River 

Band of Rohnerville Rancheria for review and approval. The NIGC staff and I look 

forward to working with you and the Rancheria in implementing the IGRA. If you have 

questions or require further assistance, please contact Ms. Frances ,Fragua at 2021632-7003. 

Sincerely yours, 

Montie R. Deer
