GOLDEN ACORN CASINO

"The Luckiest Place on Earth"

The Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian "Our Lives" exhibition Kumeyaay exhibit featured the Campo Band of Kumeyaay Indians, GOLDEN ACORN CASINO & TRAVEL CENTER. Note the Native American grinding stone in the lower display window, golden nuggets, gold coins, and gold acorn logo.

From the Smithsonian placard:

THE ACORN HAS ALWAYS BEEN WITH US:

The acorn has been with us for a long time. Our ancestors survived on this resource. Today we have the Golden Acorn Casino to remind us of the past and to provide for our future.

- Jane Salazar, 2001

In 2001, the Campo Band opened the Golden Acorn Casino and Travel Center. Just as the acorn once served as the staple of the Kumeyaay diet, the casino is viewed as a mainstay of our economy and a symbol of economic independence.

- Campo Kumeyaay Curators, 2003
