    + u -. I COMMISSION Valentino Jack, Tribal Chairman Big Valley Rancheria of Pomo 1ndians P.O. Box 955 Lakeport, California 95453 Dear Chairman Jack: This letter responds to your request to review and approve the tribal gaming ordinance adopted by the Big Valley Rancheria of Pomo Indians (the Tribe) on March 12, 1994. This letter constitutes such approval under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) . Under the IGRA and the regulations of the National Indian Gaming omm mission (NIGC), the Chairman is directed to review ordinances with respect to the requirements of the IGRA and the implementing regulations. Thus, the scope of the Chairman's review and approval is limited to the requirements of the IGRA and the NIGC regulations. Provisions other than those required under the IGRA or the NIGC regulations that may be included in a tribal ordinance are not subject to review and approval. Also, such approval does not constitute approval of specific games. It is important to note that the gaming ordinance is approved for gaming only on Indian lands as defined in the IGRA. With the Chairman's approval of the Tribe's gaming ordinance, the Tribe is now required to conduct background investigations on its key employees and primary management officials. The NIGC expects to receive a completed application for each key employee and primary management official pursuant to 25 C.F.R. S 556.5(a) and an investigative report on each background investigation before issuing a license to a key employee or primary management official pursuant to 25 C.F.R. S 556.5(b).

INTRODUCTION This article examines the path, or trajectory,1 of Indian country in California. More precisely, it explores the origin and historical development over the last three centuries of a legal principle and practice under which a particular, protected status has been extended to land areas belonging to and occupied by indigenous peoples in what is now California. The examination shows that ever since the Spanish first established a continuing presence in California in 1769, the governing colonial regime has accorded Indian lands such status.
