The Estom Yumeka Maidu Indians of the Enterprise Rancheria tribe in northern California spent years securing land into trust to develop a casino. Glenda Nelson, the tribe’s leader, helped direct that process. She explains the painful journey and its eventual success, why the tribe chose Hard Rock as a partner and how it has helped the members of her tribe. She also reveals plans for a $2 billion multi-use project the tribe has received approval for on 350 acres adjacent to the casino. She spoke with GGB Editor-at-Large Roger Gros at the Hard Rock in May.
