Dear Rolling Hills Casino, I'm not sure who to write and who to suggest this too. But I drive by your casino all the time most of my family lives in sac or the bay, they in turn also drive past your casino to vacation in Shasta during the summer. I know your casino draws plenty of patrons already but I was hoping to persuade you with a creative idea, maybe building a "Native Americans of North America Museum" near your casino. I personally volunteer with the Shasta Lake Heritage and Historical Society, where we are building and designing a new museum for our small town of Shasta Lake north of Redding. While I'm learning all about the history of California I get drawn into the Native Americans and their legends, more than the white settlers and there exploit of the land for riches. One thing I think would be amazing along the I-5 corridor of the west is a museum that speaks of all the Native Americans, their way of life, their traditions and legends, their origin and demise. I personally love history and love researching about the Sisk, Pomo, Navajo, Lakota, Iroquois, ANASAZI, MOUND BUILDERS, Aztecs "who's legends say they lived in small caves under a big mountain they call mother nature and their were fish and fowl around of the plenty", meanwhile in native legends of the Pomo their first contact was with small people who lived in caves from Mt. Konocti during the ice age, while the Sacramento Canyon Indians also have legends of little people living in caves".
I believe your casino could build something completely unique to the west coast and the United States, if you brought all the Indiginous people's legends and lives together I believe people would be left with a profound understanding of North America before it was proclaimed the United States. Please look into the Anasazi cliff dwellings and mound builders of the East coast, there is a lot to North American History that has yet to be shared and focused on. Thank you for taking the time to read this message I hope this idea can be placed into the right hands, I hope in the future I will get to stop at a Musuem about North American Cultures, and share it with my friends and family...think turtle bay but better... think the Tillamook air museum, big and bold you have a story to tell, pass down your history and legends in an unforgettable way! Please and thank you! Sincerely Kayle Jo.
(This is the letter I wrote to the corning casino, so far no one has written me back but this is just the first letter, I will keep writing till I either get a "no, I'm sorry we Can't do that" or a "yes we need to create a museum to past down or own heritage". I am a fan of history and I believe that there is still a lot of learn about North America.)
