YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT YOU ARE OFFICIALLY EXCLUDED FROM THE
PECHANGA INDIAN RESERVATIbN BY EXECUTIVE ORDER OF THE PECHANGA
l TRIBAL COUNCIL

The custom, tradition and practice of the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Mission Indians has always
been, and remains, that the Pechanga Indian Reservation is "closed" to Non-Members. Access to
the Pechanga Indian Reservation by Non-Members is not a right, but a privilege which may be
granted 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);
1
Whereas, Federal law recognizes the Pechanga Band's inherent, retained sovereignty and
jurisdiction over both its members and its territory;

Whereas, the Pechanga Band, as a sovereign Indian nation, has the power to enact and enforce
laws 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.

Now, therefore, the Tribal Council of the Pechanga Band, having been duly granted the
authority by action of the General Council of the Pechanga Band on May 1, 1996, hereby makes
the following findings:
t·

1. John Gomez, Jr. (hereinafter "Gomez") is a Non-Member of the Pechanga Band of

Luiseno Indians;
I
2. Gomez has no legal right to reside within the Pechanga Indian Reservation, as he does
not have a lease approved pursuant to the Pechanga Non-Member Reservation Access
and Rental Ordinance; I

#28656Dl86BP047vl
3. Gomez has made a veiled threat of violence against the Pechanga people by stating that,
"Maybe Congress and the courts really won't do anything until someone gets hurt ...That
might be what triggers a review of this."

4. The Tribal Council has determined that Gomez' presence on the Pechanga Indian
Reservation causes a significant threat to public safety and constitutes a public nuisance.

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

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

Be it Further Resolved, that violation of this exclusion order is pursuant to Tribal law and
Federal law, and the Band reserves the right to prosecute any violations to the fullest extent of
the law. VIOLATIONS OF THIS ORDER SHALL BE PUNISHED BY A FINE OF UP TO FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($5,000).

Persons being excluded from the Pechanga Indian Reservation may request an appeal hearing.
All appeal requests shall be made in writing and delivered to the Pechanga Tribal Government
within seven (7) days of delivery of this Notice. Appeal notices must state why a hearing is
necessary and why the proposed action should not be ordered.
