    United States Department of the Interior Washingron, DC 20240 OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OCT 1 5 2020 The Honorable Bill Anoatubby Governor, Chickasaw Nation Post Office Box 1548 Ada, Oklahoma 74821 Dear Governor Anoatubby: In 2016, the Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma (Nation) submitted to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) an application to transfer into trust two parcels of lands, totaling approximately 61.63 acres and collectively known as the Kingston Property, near the City of Kingston, Marshall County, Oklahoma (Site) for gaming and other purposes.1 Nation also requested a determination of eligibility to conduct gaming on the Site. The Nation seeks to develop a casino-resort (Proposed Project). We have completed our review of the Nation's request and the documentation in the record. As discussed below, it is my determination that the Site will be transferred into trust for the benefit of the Nation pursuant to the Indian Reorganization Act, 25 U.S.C. § 5108. Once transferred into trust, the Nation may conduct gaming on the Site pursuant to the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, 25 U.S.C. § 2719. Background The Nation historically occupied its homelands in what are today Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky. In 1832, following a series of land cessions, the Nation ultimately ceded the remainder of its lands in exchange for land west of the Mississippi River.2 The United States established the boundaries of the Nation's reservation in Oklahoma in the Treaty of 1855.3 In 1897, under the authority of the General Allotment Act, the Nation joined the Choctaw Nation in negotiations with the Dawes Commission.

This study focused on instructor’s self-disclosure of feminist beliefs to build a body of research focusing on the revelation of beliefs in the classroom. Therefore, this study adds to our conceptual understanding of self-disclosure and is valuable to feminist instructors as well as other instructors who are not sure how to self-disclose their belief in the classroom.

  • Northwestern Oklahoma State University and Southern Nazarene
    (RUSSELLVILLE, AR)---Northwestern Oklahoma State University and Southern Nazarene University have accepted provisional membership invitations into the NCAA Division II Great American Conference. Southern Nazarene is a private liberal arts university affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene and is located in Bethany, Oklahoma, a suburb of Oklahoma City. Northwestern Oklahoma State is a member of the Regional University System of Oklahoma, as are GAC members East Central University, Southeastern Oklahoma State University, and Southwestern Oklahoma State University. NWOSU is located in Alva, Oklahoma. Both institutions are currently members of the NAIA's Sooner Athletic Conference and the Central States Football League. Each school will gain full GAC status upon completing the three-year NCAA Division II membership process. SNU and NWOSU will not compete in the GAC in the 2011-12 academic year, but it is anticipated that the pair will be added to conference schedules for the 2012-13 season. Both programs bring a legacy of athletic success to the Great American Conference. Southern Nazarene has captured ten NAIA national titles, including seven in women's basketball. Squads representing the Crimson Storm have also recorded a pair of women's golf national championships and a men's basketball crown. SNU's athletic department fields teams in 17 NCAA-recognized sports. Northwestern Oklahoma State boasts a strong football tradition. The Rangers earned the 1999 NAIA football championship and have held the number one ranking in that association eleven times since the start of the 2000 season. NWOSU varsity squads compete in eleven sports. A GAC visit team, led by Southwestern Oklahoma State University president Randy Beutler, made trips to both campuses in April.
