The Casino opened in 2002, providing employment to several hundred local residents. In 2000, the Tribe acquired a 2,000-acre reservation near Corning, California and soon began construction of Rolling Hills Casino. The River Nomlaki occupied the territory east of the Hill Nomlaki in the Sacramento River Valley in present-day Tehama County.įull tribal status enabled the Paskenta Band to embark on its mission to develop a strong, diverse economic base for its membership and surrounding communities. There were two major divisions of Nomlaki Indians in California: the Hill Nomlaki and the River Nomlaki.
Paskenta lands lie between Red Bluff, California, and Stoney Creek, California, west of the Sacramento River. Members of the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians have lived in Northern California for generations, in what is now called Tehama and Glenn counties. Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians is a federally-recognized sovereign nation located in Northern California with a deep tradition of resiliency, culture, and a strong vision for the future of all peoples living in the Corning-Paskenta Tribal Community.
