A federal judge has scheduled a hearing in a gaming dispute between the
Cherokee Nation
and the
United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians
in Oklahoma.
The Cherokee Nation wants to prevent the
Bureau of Indian Affairs
from placing the site of the UKB's
Keetoowah Cherokee Casino
in trust. The Cherokees say they are the only ones with jurisdiction in the former Cherokee reservation.
The hearing takes place tomorrow morning, The Cherokee Phoenix reported.
