This Conference will take place at the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, California February 15-17, 2000. The purpose of the Conference is to facilitate economic opportunities between Native Americans and the Corporate America by providing a national forum to create greater respect, understanding, and communication. The Conference will bring together leaders and participants from Indian tribes, corporations, educational institutions, and government to break down barriers and forge new opportunities in working together. The format is structured to encourage an open dialogue participants may use and to create business opportunities for partnerships and joint ventures on and off reservation lands. Congressman Patrick Kennedy will be a keynote speaker. Senators John McCain and Ben Nighthorse Campbell both have invaluable expertise in the arena of Native American issues and are invited speakers. Among noted experts who will be panelists are Dr. Duane Champagne and Dr. Carole Goldberg from UCLA; Dr. Troy Johnson from CSU, Long Beach; and Dr. Mo Vaziri from CSU, San Bernardino; California State Senator Richard Polanco and other corporate leaders, tribal leaders, professors and government officials. The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians located 60 miles east of Los Angeles, exemplifies what the Conference will be discussing. In a historic partnership, the tribe linked with the Commercial Service of the United States Department of Commerce to open the San Manuel Associate Office of the Inland Empire Export Assistance Center at San Bernardino International Airport. The Band has been at the forefront of preserving Native American sovereignty while bringing people together for positive change. The Band believes strongly in NACAB. So much so, they have provided seed money to organize the Conference. The Conference will begin on Tuesday, February 15 with an evening reception with honored guest Peter Matthiessen, world-renowned author of "In the Spirit of Crazy Horse".
