Onondaga Nation applies traditional values to high tech investments
We see far in the future. We have a long memory and we know about things— the earth...
(08/09/11) The Onondaga are among only a handful of Native American nations who refuse money from the US Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs. They do so to preserve their independence. They've also refused to open a casino.

But the Onondaga are reaching out--applying their traditional values and consensus-based decision-making--in a new series of business partnerships with clean tech companies. Emma Jacobs brings us this report from the Innovation Trail.

Support for the Innovation Trail comes from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The Innovation Trail is a collaboration between five upstate public media outlets, reporting about New York's innovation economy. more

The silver lining has been the dialogue the community is having... What are the decisions we want to make?

Constellation Brands goes local
It's amazing people don't realize that... it's kind of this little secret here in our own backyard.
(12/31/10) Pop quiz: Where's the headquarters of the world's largest wine company?
No, not Bordeaux. Not Napa, either.

Until last week, the correct answer would've been Victor, N.Y., just south of Rochester, and the company would've been Constellation Brands. But now the AP is reporting that E. & J. Gallo Winery of Modesto, Calif. holds that distinction.

That's after Constellation sold off the bulk of its money-losing Australian, British and South African holdings for $230 million.

Right as the evolving wine giant was pulling back abroad, The Innovation Trail's Zack Steward took a look at Constellation's growing place role in the local Finger Lakes wine economy. more
