Such a vibrant, beautiful start to our Tribal Trade Mission -- thank you to Redding Rancheria for their undying support, Chairman Jack Potter Jr, for his wise words and blessings. We are fired up for the next two days of great work on behalf of our Native American business enterprises.

As we have consistently done, we are on a mission to increase Tribal use of our Native American/Chamber member businesses. This Tribal Trade Mission will provide everyone with an overview of how to make this happen. And, of a number of regulatory parameters involved in Indian Country's business community.

Attention all Tribes, Tribal Enterprises, ANCs and Native American Owned businesses - We are kicking off another awesome year with our American Indian Chamber in Funner, CA on the Rincon Band of Luiseno Indians reservation- register today for in-person or online participation https://KickOff2026.eventbrite.com

The Chamber mourns the sudden passing of an Indian Country giant, Ernie Stevens, Jr. We send our condolences to his wife Cher, his children and 20 grandchildren Along with then Indian Gaming Association Board Secretary and current San Manuel Tribal Chairwoman Lynn Valbuena, the Chamber signed a historic MOU with the Indian Gaming Association that outlined a partnership for a "Buy Native" initiative. Additionally, Ernie was a stellar supporter of the Chamber attending a number of events and frequently dropping by our outreach booths. In 2021, Ernie presented Chamber president Tracy Stanhoff with his Chairman's Leadership award. "We have lost a good soul, and tireless advocate for our people," said Chamber president Tracy Stanhoff, "he will long be remembered and celebrated."

We needed to take a moment of reflection upon the sudden passing of our dear friend Ernie Stevens Jr - but know he would want us to move forward on and share our mission to advocate for Buy Native during CA Native American Day festivities at the CA State Capitol.

We are ready to network, build enterprises and have some fun!
