Tule River Tribe celebrated a new chapter in its long history with the grand opening of the relocated brand new Eagle Mountain Casino.
“I want to congratulate the Eagle Mountain Casino team for their dedication and hard work. They are the backbone of our success,” Tule River Tribe Chairman Neil Peyron said, during the casino’s opening Tuesday in Porterville. “We are grateful for them and all our patrons that would drive the road to the reservation to go there and enjoy some of the best entertainment in our area.”
The move from the reservation to Porterville was a lengthy process that started in 2016, and addressed a critical water shortage that has hobbled development on reservation land for decades.
