Letter from Senator Feinstein to DOI re: Off Reservation Gaming Scotts Valley
Our Allies
Tribal allies
Dozens of Tribes and local interests have opposed the DOI’s approach to granting gaming lands to Scotts Valley in Patwin Territory since 2016. While the Department might try to say certain things have changed, nothing has changed, the facts remain and granting lands to a Tribe with no connection to Patwin ancestral lands is flat out wrong. Tribal governments that have expressed concerns to the Department of the Interior since 2016 include the following:
Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation
Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation
Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians
Cachil Dehe Band of Wintun Indians
Pechanga Band of Indians
Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians
Karuk Indian Tribe
Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians
Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians
Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria
