Federal law currently prohibits the
introduction of alcoholic beverage into
Indian Country (18 U.S.C. 1154), and
expressly delegates to tribes the
decision regarding when and to what
extent alcoholic beverage transactions
shall be permitted (18 U.S.C. 1161).
Unless otherwise provided in this
Ordinance, standards for the sale and
transaction of alcoholic beverages shall
be in conformity with the laws of the
State of Montana, as required by, and in
accordance with 18 U.S.C. 1161.
Section 1.4 Declaration of Public
Policy
(a) The introduction, possession, and
sale of alcoholic beverage on the Rocky
Boy’s Reservation are a matter of special
concern to the Chippewa Cree Tribe.
(b) Compliance with this ordinance
shall be in addition to, and not a
substitute for, compliance with the laws
of the State of Montana.
(c) In 1970, the Chippewa Cree Tribe
passed Ordinance I–70, authorizing the
introduction, sale or possession of
alcoholic beverages on the Rocky Boy’s
Reservation. This Ordinance replaces
Ordinance I–70 recognizing that a need
still exists for strict regulation and
control over alcoholic beverages
transactions within the Rocky Boy’s
Reservation because of the many
potential problems associated with the
unregulated or inadequately regulated
sale, possession, distribution, and
consumption of alcoholic beverages.
The Chippewa Cree Tribal Business
Committee finds that Tribal control and
regulation of alcoholic beverages
necessary to achieve maximum
economic benefit to the Tribe, to protect
the health and welfare of Tribal
members, and to address specific
concerns relating to alcohol use on the
Rocky Boy’s Reservation.
(d) It is in the best interests of the
Chippewa Cree Tribe to enact a Tribal
ordinance governing alcoholic beverage
sales on the Rocky Boy’s Reservation,
which provides for purchase,
distribution, and sale of alcoholic
beverages only on specific Tribal lands
within the exterior boundaries of the
Rocky Boy’s Reservation, as designated

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Bureau of Indian Affairs
Public Notice of Lands Previously Conveyed Into Trust and
Proclaimed as Reservation For Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians by
Act of Congress
AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Indian Affairs is giving public notice of the
act of Congress which has conveyed certain fee properties into trust
and proclaimed reservation status for the Mississippi Band of Choctaw
Indians.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ben Burshia, Bureau of Indian Affairs,
Division of Real Estate Services, Mail Stop 4639-MIB, 1849 C Street,
NW., Washington, DC 20240, Telephone (202) 208-7737.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The original reservation proclamation
establishing the Mississippi Choctaw Indian Reservation was issued
December 23, 1944 (9 FR 14907), by virtue of the authority of the Act
of June 21, 1939 (53 Stat. 573), and section 7 of the Act of June 18,
1934 (48 Stat. 986). Pursuant to section 1(a)(2) of the Act of June 29,
2000, Public Law 106-228 (114 Stat. 228), certain lands then held in
fee by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians were placed into federal
trust status. The Act provided:
``All land held in fee by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw
Indians located within the boundaries of the State of Mississippi,
as shown in the report entitled ``Report of Fee Lands owned by the
Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians,'' dated September 28, 1999, on
file in the Office of the Superintendent, Choctaw Agency, Bureau of
Indian Affairs, Department of the Interior, is hereby declared to be
held by the United States in trust for the benefit of the
Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians; * * *.''
Section 1(a)(1) of Public Law 106-228 also provided that ``all
lands taken in trust by the United States for the benefit of the
Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians on or after December 23, 1944,
shall be part of the Mississippi Choctaw Indian Reservation.'' This Act
was amended by section 811 of the Act of December 27, 2000, Public Law
106-568 (114 Stat. 2868), which provided:
Section 1(a)(2) of Pub. L. 106-228 (an Act to make technical
corrections to the status of certain land held in trust for the
Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, to take certain land into trust
for that Band, and for other purposes) is amended by striking
``September 28, 1999'' and inserting ``February 7, 2000.''
The February 7, 2000, report referenced in section 811 of Public
Law 106-568 added lands to those originally identified in the September
28, 1999, report referenced in section 1(a)(2) of Public Law 106-228.
All of those lands were placed into trust and made a part of the
reservation. Revised legal descriptions for some of those lands were
approved by Congress by section 107 of the Act of March 2, 2004, Public
Law 108-204 (118 Stat. 542), as reflected in a Report of May 17, 2002,
on file at the Choctaw Agency, Bureau of Indian Affairs. Legal
descriptions for all parcels initially placed into trust and
reservation status for the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians by
Public Law 106-228, as amended by Public Law 106-568, as amended by
Public Law 108-204, are referenced in Appendix I to this Notice.
Additional lands have been taken into trust by the United States
for the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 465
after December 23, 1944, and before June 29, 2000. All such lands were
made part of the Mississippi Choctaw Indian Reservation by section
1(a)(1) of Public Law 106-228. The legal descriptions for those other
tracts are not set out in this notice.
Pursuant to section 1(a)(1) of Public Law 106-228, if and when
additional lands are taken into trust by the United States for the
Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 465 or by
other authority, each such additional land parcel shall automatically
become a part of the Mississippi Choctaw Indian Reservation without the
need for any other formal declaration to that effect pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 467.
All of the Choctaw reservation lands referenced in this notice
constitute Indian Country under 18 U.S.C. 1151(a).
Dated: March 24, 2007.
Carl J. Artman,
Assistant Secretary--Indian Affairs.
