The Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians is proud to share the completion of Obsidian Way, a newly constructed road that connects Liberal Avenue to the Rolling Hills Casino and Resort property. Located directly west of the Rolling Hills Casino & Resort’s Equestrian Center, Obsidian Way represents a significant infrastructure milestone for the community.

This new roadway improves traffic flow and enhances accessibility. The project underscores the Tribe’s commitment to the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and accessibility on tribal lands.

We are grateful to North Star Engineering, Walberg Inc., Chapco Construction, and Lynn Siedschlag, Director of Engineering, for leading this project from design through completion.

Last week, Obsidian Way was used for the first time during the 6th Annual Paskenta Nomlaki Foundation Community Food Distribution. 🎥 Please take a moment to watch a short video highlighting the completion of Obsidian Way below.
