The California Nations Indian Gaming Association would like to extend a special thank you to the Barona Band of Mission Indians and VCAT. Without their guidance and financial support this web-site would not have been possible. Communication between our member Indian tribes and associate members, representatives of the state and federal governments, and the public has not always been beneficial. Due to the generosity of these individuals the desired communication is not only possible but effective. Background: VCAT provides consulting services to support and facilitate Tribal business development in the gaming industry. They act as the Tribal Council's ally in identifying, organizing, managing and capitalizing businesses. "Our company was founded to help empower Tribal communities build a business on their own and profit by accomplishing their dreams. We are still, and always will be, guided by dreamers."
