A tribal casino resort in northern California’s wine country got the green light last week, and the Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma will help with its development and operations.
In its final week, the Biden administration approved the Koi Nation of Northern California’s plans to construct the Shiloh Resort and Casino in Sonoma County last week. This move follows a federal judge’s decision in favor of the property’s development despite an ongoing battle of opposition from neighboring residents and tribes in the Golden State, as well as Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The Koi Nation is a small tribe with a turbulent history testing its sovereignty and hold over land in California.
