The Pinoleville Pomo Nation might be reviving plans for a long-delayed casino in northern California. The tribe announced the $50 million project in 2009, signed a Class III gaming compact with the state and secured a favorable Indian lands opinion from the National Indian Gaming Commission.

The land is located within the boundaries of the tribe's original reservation. Read More on the Story:
