Dear Tribal Leaders,

Following the tremendous response and success of our first Tribal Summit, I am excited to announce our next gathering, Restoring Truth: A Summit for California’s Native Future, hosted at

Table Mountain Casino on August 25 and 26, 2025.

This second summit builds on the powerful conversations, unity, and shared purpose we experienced earlier this year. Many of you encouraged us to continue this critical work, providing another opportunity to gather, amplify our voices, and build actionable strategies.

We’ll begin with a private reception on Friday evening, giving everyone time to reconnect, build new relationships, and prepare for Saturday’s important discussions. Chairperson Michelle Heredia-Cordova and Table Mountain Casino have generously provided special room rates for attendees.

Our goal remains clear: to create meaningful steps and responsibilities that protect our sovereignty, promote cultural preservation, and ensure opportunities for future generations. Your leadership and participation are crucial as we move forward.

Please sign up today to reserve your place at this important gathering:

A special thank you to Chairperson Michelle Heredia-Cordova and the Table Mountain Rancheria for graciously hosting and making this summit possible.

I look forward to seeing you in August.

With deep respect and gratitude,

James Ramos

Assemblymember, 45th District
Chair, Native American Legislative Caucus
