Leaders of Jemez Pueblo want to meet with New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez (R) to discuss plans for an off-reservation casino.

Martinez hasn't stated her position on the casino. Her approval is required because the tribe is proceeding under the two-part determination section of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs has moved the project forward by publishing a draft environmental impact statement. The process could take years to complete.
