California Tribe Sues Over Homelands Ruling

The Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians is suing the Department of the Interior over a decision that prevents the tribe from building a casino in the San Francisco Bay area. The tribe wanted to put land into trust to allow it to offer gaming in Vallejo, 32 miles from the city. John Tahsuda (l.) of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, said the tribe has not proven its ties to the site.
