Sycuan Indian Reservation

Wanted to attend this Pow Wow as a cultural experience but found tribal members hostile and rude. I’ve been an ardent supporter of local tribes and their right to support themselves but was disillusioned by the attitude of tribal members towards non-​tribal members of the community. If the tribe does not want «outsiders» to interfere with their cultural celebration, then I suggest the event be closed to the public and open for only tribal members. When my husband and I arrived at the Pow Wow it was nearly 100 degrees outside. We arrived at the front gate entering the event and attempted to stand in some shade at the edge of a canopy. We were practically body checked by a woman under the canopy who then proceeded to put caution tape around the perimeter of the canopy. The young man who was raking orders at the booth selling fry bread tacos was also extremely rude. We would never attend another Pow Wow here and have since decided to never frequent this casino again based on this experience.

I love Sycuan Indian Reservation. This is a review on the annual Sycuan Pow Wow on the Reservation and not a review of the Casino.
I enjoyed the great food, arts and crafts and overall cultural experience. :) Want to do it again. Pow Wows on the rez are the ultimate cultural plunge.
