Enterprise Rancheria of Maidu Indians

Up one level

September 7, 2010: FEIS Comment by Stand Up For California
August 6, 2010: Federal Register - FEIS: Comment Period
Feb. 8, 2010: Chairman of Mooretown to Yuba BOS: Since Yuba County ventured forward 8 long years ago, aspiring to develop an off reservation casino with the Enterprise Tribe, many State and Federal policies have come into question. Thus, we are writing you again to alert you to a number of serious issues that Yuba County faces should it choose to continue in this endeavor:
May 2009: Mooretown Rancheria Requests Opportunity to Comment: The Mooretown Rancheria of Concow Maidu Indians was not contacted and offered the opportunity to comment in regards to the Enterprise Rancheria of Maidu Indians application. At the same time local government officials in our county were.
March 2009: Yuba County Final Letter: The MOU between the applicant and Yuba County, as well as requirements contained in the EIS will mitigate identified impacts so that the placement of the 40 acres into trust and development of the casino will not have a detrimental impact on Yuba County. However, if agreed upon mitigation measures identified in the MOU or in the EIS are not implemented locating a gaming establishment on newly acquired land will have a detrimental impact on Yuba County.
March 2009: United Auburn Indian Community Opposes Concurrance
March 2009: Citizens for a Better Way Oppose Concurrance: Is the intention of Supervisors and staff to present unbiased information to the BIA in the letter responding to your letter of January 16, 2009. or, rather is the letter intentionally biased to conform with obligations to the MOU?
March 2009: Indians of Enterprise No. 1 Oppose Conccurance: The current leadership of the Enteprise Tribe has disenrolled long-standing members of the Enterprise Rancheria. It appears that the new leadership has usurped the tribal status of Rancheria No. 1, in order to assert development of a casino outside of aboriginal territory in Yuba County. The current tribal government is seriously impacted by the Carcieri v. Salazar U. S. Supreme Court Ruling.
March 2009: Draft Letter-Yuba County Concurrance: This is a draft letter. The letter was debated at the March 10, 2009 Board of Supervisor Hearing. Amendments will be made to the letter that cite the negative impacts of the proposed project on the community.
March 2009: Assembly Member Dan Logue: "Even more importantly, it was the understanding of the electorate in 2000 when Proposition 1A passed, that gaming was to remian on "Indian Lands" as implied on the ballot measure. The mood of the State Legislature has not been favorable to reservation shopping, and there are real questions as to whether a tribal state compact would be ratified in this case. "
