Description

The Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians started construction of the Angel of the Winds Casino near Arlington Washington in April 2004 and opened its doors in the fall of the same year. Angel of the Winds Casino represents a dream come true for the Stillaguamish Tribe. For generations, the Stillaguamish have pursued the goal of self-sufficiency for the Tribe and its members while striving to preserve Tribal values and culture. Angel of the Winds Casino marks the key step in achieving that goal. Angel of the Winds also will help our entire community by creating hundreds of good jobs, infusing tens of millions of dollars into the local economy and providing a high quality entertainment option. The Stillaguamish Indians have lived in the Stillaguamish River Valley of Western Washington for hundreds of generations. Until about 150 years ago, the Stillaguamish lived a way of life that was in balance with the natural environment and supported a unique and vital culture and spiritual values. The coming of Euro-American explorers and settlers and the spread of unfamiliar diseases destroyed that way of life. Like most Indian tribes, the Stillaguamish have struggled since then to regain their economic and cultural self-sufficiency and to overcome a host of social problems brought about by poverty and historical tragedy. Angel of the Winds Casino is named after Che-Che-Yel, a highly revered elder of the Tribe in earlier generations...
