In the Clinton administrations waning days, Kevin Gover and his deputy, Michael Anderson, issued a aeries of tribal recognition decisions that critics say were an abuse of the process and benefitted American Indian gambling interests. In two cases Gover and Anderson Gover reversed BIA staff findings by granting tribal status to the Chinook tribe in Washington state, and Anderson by issuing a proposed finding in favor of the Nipmuc Tribe in Massachusetts. Gover, who practiced law for 11 years in New Mexico, insists he did nothingwrong. Indeed, the BIAchief is given the authority to make such decisions, and Gover said in each case in the tribes best interest, he said, are part of an effort to discredit him and, indirectly, erode support for Indian gambling. This is part of the game, and thats too bad.
