CNIGA Holds Summit

"We want to bring to bear the collective talents and wisdom of all
tribal governments in California on the issue of creating sustainable
economies," said Miranda.

Many tribes are looking to diversify their economies by using gaming
funds to kick-start other business ventures. The summit will provide a
forum for tribes to discuss with each other which plans have proven most
successful and what potential barriers to success may exist.

Since the challenges of tribal economic development extend beyond
California, the goal of the summit is to gather a set of recommendations
from the attendees to give to such national organizations as the National
Congress of American Indians and the National Indian Gaming Association.

The summit will be preceded by CNIGA's signature golf tournament at the
Sandpiper Golf Course on Tuesday. Santa Barbara area tribe, the Santa Ynez
Band of Chumash Indians, will be the title sponsor of the tournament.

Attendance to the summit is free but space is limited.
