Even though the voters overwhelmingly made their opposition clear, the tribe of Guidivillle Band of Pomo Indians, with gambling profiteers behind the proposal, were determined to push this on the people. These tribal casinos were hatched by the mob using white-guilt of past injustices to the Indians to gain traction for the scheme, in this case, the Guidiville Band of of Pomo Indians to front the project.
