The California Tribal Business Alliance was formed in 2004 by California Indian tribes who concluded Tribal-State Gaming Compacts with the State of California and who were interested in developing relationships with like-minded governments, business, civic, and community leaders, with the intent to foster productive alliances based on mutual respect and cooperation.

The California Tribal Business Alliance’s four members are Pala Band of Mission Indians, Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi Indians, Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians and Ione Band of Miwok Indians.

The member tribes view their sovereignty as a foundation from which they can find common interests and build mutually-beneficial alliances with tribal, federal, state, and local governments, and with civic, charitable, and community leaders.
