WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 2002 A federal judge late last month refused to overturn a decision by the National Indian Gaming Commission to deny a gaming permit to the Alaska Native village of Barrow. Barrow has been selling pull-tabs, which are Class II devices, without a state license. Class II games don't require state approval under federal law but they are supposed to be operated only in Indian Country. A cloud over exactly what is Indian Country and trust land as it applies to Native allotments still exists. The 1998 Venetie Supreme Court decision affected Native-owned land conveyed under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. The Kenaitze Tribe and the village of Akiachak have also been seeking approval from NIGC for gaming operations. Get the Story:
