The California Tribal Business Alliance was formed in 2004 to address an array of public policy matters of importance to the diverse business interests of the founding tribes, including business, housing, transportation, agriculture and environmental issues.

The CTBA's six members are the Lytton Band of Pomo Indians, the Pala Band of Mission Indians, the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians, the Pauma Band of Luiseño Indians, the United Auburn Indian Community, and the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians.

The member tribes view their sovereignty as a foundation from which they can build strong relationships and find common interests with state and local governments, and with civic, charitable and community organizations.
