Moreover, this is not the Koi Nation’s first attempt at reservation shopping,” Greg Sarris, chairman of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, said in a statement. “The Koi Nation’s attempt to push through a proposal to jump into other tribes’ territory is wrong. Proving they have a right to the land is one of the federal hurdles the Koi will have to overcome before the first shovel of dirt is overturned. The Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria’s contention is the Koi have no ancestral connections to the land they want to develop. However, Graton Resort and Casino in Rohnert Park, which opened in 2013, is not welcoming a competitor just up the road on Highway 101. “That’s a combination we believe would be appealing to a very wide range of customers, including first-time casino customers looking for a unique experience in a unique location as well as people who enjoy gaming and are looking for a different experience.” “The Shiloh Resort & Casino is going to offer a different experience to customers, from the design of the facility to its integration with the natural environment, from an entirely non-smoking campus to the combination of dining, entertainment, gaming, and proximity to the Sonoma County wine country,” Darin Beltran, chair of Koi Nation, told the Business Journal.
