It was a full house at the big tent for the groundbreaking of the new Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Thursday. More importantly, it’s a new day in history for members of the Tejon Tribe as they receive the pen to write their next chapter.
Candi Asuncion of the Tejon Indian Tribe says, “We’ve been landless as a tribe for over 150 years, and today we’re celebrating on our own tribal sovereign land which is over 300 acres.”
For many, it’s more than a groundbreaking. It’s a display of culture, solidarity, and honor for California’s first people. “And, it’s been a long time running,” said Asuncion.
