FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2002

The Strawberry Valley Band of Pakan'yani Maidu Indians was terminated in 1961 and is seeking to regain its federal status.

The tribe wants Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) to introduce a bill to reaffirm its status. There are about 250 members.

The tribe worries gaming might complicate matters. The Enterprise Rancheria wants to open a casino in Maidu aboriginal territory.
