The California Tribal Business Alliance was formed in 2004 by California Indian tribes interested in developing partnerships and coalitions with like-minded governments and with business, community, and civic organizations, with the intent to build 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 build strong relationships and find common interests with state and local governments, and with civic, charitable and community organizations.
