The property also is renovatingcurrent casino gaming facilities and doublingthe size of its casino floor to 195,000square feet while increasing video andtable game capacity.WASHINGTON – The Cowlitz Tribe ofIndians in Washington State may conductgaming under a decision approved by theDepartment of the Interior on Dec. 23,2010.Assistant Secretary-Indian AffairsLarry Echo Hawk announced the approvalof the acquisition of 152 acres of land intrust for the Cowlitz Tribe of Indians inClark County, Wash. The newly acquiredlands will serve as the initial reservation ofthe Cowlitz Tribe, which was federally acknowledgedby the United States in 2000.The Cowlitz Tribe intends to conductClass III gaming on the newly acquiredlands pursuant to the Indian Gaming RegulatoryAct (IGRA).“This project will allow theCowlitz Tribe to create hundreds of jobsand invest in other forms of economic development.It will also allow the Tribe tobegin the restoration of its homelands,”Echo Hawk said.The Department also disapproveda gaming application for the ReddingRancheria, a federally recognized tribe inCalifornia, after it was determined that itsapplication to place lands in ShastaCounty, Calif., in trust did not satisfyIGRA and the Department’s regulations onIndian gaming.IGRA requires federally recognizedtribes to enter into tribal-state gamingcompacts authorizing Class III gamingprior to conducting Class III gaming activities.Class III gaming consists of cardgames played against the house, slot machines,dog and horse racing, jai alai andall other types of casino gaming.IGRA prohibits Indian gaming onlands acquired in trust after its enactmentin 1988 unless one of three explicitlycrafted exceptions applies. One exception,known as the “equal footing exception,”was intended to ensure that a number oftribes had an equal opportunity to pursueIndian gaming on their own lands as thosetribes that had lands eligible for gaming in1988. The application approved today satisfiesthis exception.The Cowlitz Tribe’s application toplace land into trust was filed under the IndianReorganization Act, which requiredthe Department to examine whether itcould be approved under the CarcieriSupreme Court decision. The Interior Solicitor’soffice conducted a thorough reviewof the application and determinedthat it satisfied the requirements of the IndianReorganization Act and the Carcieridecision.“We worked very closely with ourattorneys in the Office of the Solicitor onthe Cowlitz Tribe’s land-into-trust applicationand determined that it clearly satisfiedthe law,” Echo Hawk said. “We will continueour work to process other pendingapplications.”Officials from the Department’sOffice of Indian Gaming recently concludeda consultation process with triballeaders on developing the Department’spolicy for implementing the third categoryof exceptions under IGRA: the so-called“off-reservation” exception. A June 18,2010, memorandum from Interior SecretaryKen Salazar to Assistant SecretaryEcho Hawk directed the Department to engageIndian tribes in developing principledand transparent criteria to implement thispolicy. The tribal consultation process forthis effort ended December 18, 2010.- Source: DOIGreater Cherokee Tourism Council formedA new cooperative marketingommittee was formed at the end of a maretingworkshop facilitated by Judy Ranallof Randall Travel Marketing.

He always told me that hefelt like a prisoner down here or that hewas hurting, but they wouldn’t give himanything for the pain. He told his nursethe Wednesday before he left us that hewas hurting. I was leaving from his room,and I told her myself that he was hurting.You know, he was still a human,still had feelings, still an enrolled member.He was a big person, but you know thereare big people all over this world, evenbigger. That was God’s plan, not his.I have talked to some enrolledmembers who have worked down there,knew what went on down there, but wereafraid of losing their jobs.My sister, Francis, went down tofind her son, Arnie, hurting and calledEMS to come and check on him. One timethe doctor cancelled the call. I don’t thinkthat was right. You know, Arnie was athome. He should have been their number1 priority. I mean, not just him but the restof the enrolled members.It makes me mad to know that ourpeople have been neglected. I also knowthat one of the RN’s down there waslaughing because of his weight. Of course,she was non-Indian. Why is she hereworking? Maybe she needs to go workwith her own kind.People, this is just the way I feel.Arnie could still be here if he were inphysical therapy, but nobody worked withhim down there after he was told that iswhat was going to take place. Never happened.He sat there day-in and day-out. Ithink the only time he went out was whenhe got sent to Asheville which was abouttwo or three times. He was promised to betaken out to go shopping, but it never happened.So, I guess he was paying for nothing.You know, Arnie can’t say anythinganymore. As a matter of fact, I don’tthink he ever complained, and I never sawhim cry except when he hurt.So, wake up, people. We are athome, but still outsiders are still hurting us.It won’t quit unless we do something aboutit. Just like I said, Arnie can’t speak anymore.But, I can!!! He is free now!Signed,Melinda OwleSpecial Thank YouWe would like to extent our deepestthanks and appreciation to the friends,family, hospital personnel, and tribal constructionworkers for your support andsympathy in our loss of Ernie Crowe onChristmas Eve.

16 cherokee one feather THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 2011HEALTH TALKEat Healthy &Save MoneyBy SARAH MCCLELLAN-WELCHEBCI COOPERATIVE EXTENSIONIf your New Year’s resolution orfter-Christmas budget realities have youondering, “How can I eat healthy andtill feed my family on a limited budget?”,hen take a look at a new website resourcerom North Carolina Cooperative Extenion:Take Control for Your Futureww.nctakecontrol.com. This websiteives ideas on how to save money, eatealthy and manage stress caused by in theurrent economy.The following is from “Saveoney on Your Food Bill and Still Eatmart” by NC Cooperative Extension:#1 Prepare and eat more meals atome. Eating at home is one of the bestays to save money on your food bill.on’t be fooled by dollar menu or all-youan-eatdeals. They may sound good, butooking simple foods at home is less expensiveand better for your waistline.hen you cook at home, you are in conrolof what you cook, how it is preparednd how much is served.Plan: Set aside 30 minutes a weekto plan what you will serve each night fordinner. Make a shopping list based onwhat you need to carry out your plan. Getthe whole family involved.Keep it simple: Select simplerecipes with few ingredients that use simplecooking tech¬niques.Turn leftovers into planned-overs:Cook larger quantities of one or two entreesand plan to serve the leftovers at ameal later in the week.#2 Shop smart. When you arewatching your food dollars you have to bea smart shopper. This is especially true ifyou and your family also want to eastsmart.Buy generic or store brand: Compareprices of store and/or generic brands.If qual¬ity is similar, purchase the cheapestbrand.Buy in bulk: Check the price ofbagged pro¬duce such as apples, oranges,potatoes or on¬ions, they may be cheaperthan buying single items. Make sure youplan your menu to use all that you buy.Purchase large portions of meats — wholechickens, large bags of chick¬en parts andfamily packs. Divide these into smallermeal-sized containers and freeze.Use unit pricing: Unit pricing will helpyou see what is the best value by givingyou the price per ounce of an item. Youcan easily compare prices of different sizesand brands. The largest size is not alwaysthe cheapest.Skip single-serving packages:Single-serving packages are convenient,but are very costly. Purchase large containersof crackers, yogurt, cottage cheese, carrots,etc. and make your ownsingle-serving size packages usingreusable plas¬tic containers.#3 Choose healthy and budgetfriendly items. Canned and frozen fruitsand vegetables: Fresh fruits and vegetablesare great low-calorie choices in a healthydiet. However, fresh may not always bebudget-friendly. Purchase fruits and vegetablesthat are in season. When fresh produceis too expensive, purchase canned orfrozen fruits and vegetables with no addedsugar or sauce.Skip the snack isle and drinkwater: Snacks and beverages can reallywreck your food budget. Limit snacks tohealthy items, not chips and cookies.Water should be your number one beverageof choice.If you do not have access to theinternet at home, the Qualla BoundaryPublic Library has computers and internetservice available free-of-charge.
