Arkansas CasinosNO INDIAN CASINOS NEWS January 16, 2008 Fort Smith Indian Casino Rejected by Federal Government FORT SMITH, AR - The U.S. Department of the Interior rejected a proposal by the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians to build a riverfront casino in Fort Smith. The tribe had applied to the department to place 10 acres of into federal trust for the purpose of building a casino. In a surprising change of policy, the Interior Department added a new criteria based on commuting distance from a reservation to a casino. The Keetoowah live in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, a distance of 90 miles. The proposed casino site is near the ancestral lands of the Keetoowah. Based on this distance criteria, the department rejected the tribe's application along with similar applications from ten other tribes across the country. The tribe is considering an appeal.
