Alleged Cherokee tribe can't run casino boat

FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 2003

A group calling itself the Southern Cherokee Nation has been told to move a riverboat that it wants to use as casino.

The 214-foot boat landed at Webber Falls in Oklahoma. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said gaming was not a possibility.

The group is not federally recognized.
