President Obama's stimulus package and other economic development efforts are causing California tribes to transition from merely providing land, energy, or rights of way to becoming active entrepreneurial participants in energy projects. To examine specific market opportunities in California and energy sales from projects outside the state, Law Seminars International hosted this conference in Cabazon, California on 22-23 June 2009.
