Blue Ray Technologies plans expansion on Blackfeet land

Spokane, WA-based Blue Ray Technologies, the largest U.S. indie Blu-ray manufacturer, is planning to build a plant on Blackfeet Indian land in Montana, said representatives for the tribe and the company. 

The company plans to build plants on Indian land in the hopes of helping the Blackfeet Nation and soon other tribes to develop a technological source of income and educational skills.

“This is about ‘No American left behind,’” said DVD pioneer and Blue Ray Technologies founder Erick Hansen. “Schools, especially those on tribal lands, are just not preparing kids for the future. It’s not only the outsourcing to China and India in the new tech industries, it is more important. No American left behind. Period.”
