The dramatic landscapes of Inyo County, California make it a popular filming location, with more than 400 movies and countless television ads shot in the surrounding area. It is also a destination for outdoor enthusiasts who are drawn to its iconic locales, such as Death Valley and Mount Whitney. All of these visitors require fuel, food, and other supplies, a need upon which the Bishop Paiute Tribe are moving to capitalize.

Yuhubi Nobi – which means “fuel house” in the Numu language – is a gas station and convenience store in Bishop, California opened by the Bishop Paiute Development Corporation, a tribally chartered corporation, that is providing jobs and income for this rural Tribal community.
