There was an interesting bit of vandalism that claimed:

The Maidu now live of the white man's creations and build city destroying casinos all throughout California. Many Native Americans have become massive alcoholics and drug addicts and have created violence among smaller towns.

Which is amusing, since there IS a casino in California that apparently has ties to the Maidu, but the owner is a white-owned syndicate which somehow managed to get the rights to the name, and all they have to pay is 12 turkeys per year to somebody. The Maidu get bupkis.Mike02:09, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is actually more than one Maidu owned casino in California. In the small town of Oroville, 20 miles south of Chico, there are TWO Maidu owned casinos. And no, "white people" don't own them, the tribes do. Each tribe member makes thousands of dollars a month off their casino ("per capita"), even if they work there or not. Oroville is already considered to have a high low-income population, it is disgusting that these casinos can so easily make so much money off of locals who are already living in poverty. I believe that it is a personal decision if a person wants to go to a casino and gamble away their money. But like any other addiction, gambling is a serious problem. These casinos don't acknowledge that this problem exists. Its sad that the locals are suffering. People claim that Native American's deserve to own casinos because of whatever struggles their ancestors went through. None of the "Native Americans" that own these casinos are at any more of a disadvantage than any other ethnicity, non-hispanic (white), black, Mexican or Hmong! The locals are suffering for atrocities that happened in the past.

That's an interesting claim. Curiously enough, the Konkow Valley Band of Maidu is attempting to re-qcauire federal recognition for, among other reasons, to be able to operate a casino. You do not mention the two casinos by name, which makes me unable to verify the claim; you also do not identify yourself, either. For what it is worth, I don't believe that Indians operating casinos is inherently a good idea -- or anyone else, for that matter. However, I am sufficiently a libertarian that I believe that no-one has the inherent right to forbid anyone from doing so, either.Mike00:15, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Maidu Tribes operating casinos in Oroville, CA are Gold Country Casino, which is operated by the Tyme Maidu Tribe and Feather Falls Casino, which is operated by the Concow Maidu Tribe.

There is a newer edit giving an alternative name to Northeastern or Mountain Maidu asYamonee Maidu. Would the anonymous contributor care to justify this term?Mike01:59, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Freya 333, there is a separate article for theMaidu languages. This article concerns itself with historical and cultural themes (apart from the language).
