The custom, tradition and practice of the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Mission Indians has alwaysbeen, and remains, that the Pechanga Indian Reservation is "closed" to Non-Members. Access tothe Pechanga Indian Reservation by Non-Members is not a right, but a privilege which may begranted or denied to an individual upon proper authority of the Pechanga Band (Article l(b),Non-Member Reservation Access and Rental Ordinance, May 1, 1996);

1Whereas, Federal law recognizes the Pechanga Band's inherent, retained sovereignty andjurisdiction over both its members and its territory;

Whereas, the Pechanga Band, as a sovereign Indian nation, has the power to enact and enforcelaws to safeguard the general welfare and safety of its Membership and its Reservation;

Whereas, the tribal lands' of tlhe Pechanga Indian Reservation are private property, and non)members have no property interest in uninvited entry onto said lands.

Therefore, pursuant to the "Non-Member Reservation Access and Rental Ordinance," principlesof Federal Indian law, and Tribal Custom and Tradition, john Gomez,jr. is hereby permanentlyexcluded from the Pechanga Indian Reservation;

Be it Further Resolved, that the Tribal Council is denying Gomez the privilege of access to theReservation and all exterior properties under the authority of the Pechanga Band.
