    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.
