The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians is a federally recognized Indian tribe located on the San Manuel Indian Reservation near Highland, California. San Manuel exercises its inherent sovereign right of self-governance and provides essential services for its citizens by building infrastructure, maintaining civil services, and promoting social, economic and cultural development. As the Indigenous people of the San Bernardino highlands, passes, valleys, mountains and high deserts, the Serrano people of San Manuel have called this area home since time immemorial and are committed to remaining a productive partner in the San Bernardino region.
The Yuhaaviatam Clan has long used storytelling to honor the strength, perseverance, and resiliency of its people. Hamiinat, the magazine of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, is filled with compelling stories about the Tribe’s history, legacy, culture, and future.
We invite you to continue to experience our journey and read our Summer 2024 issue of Hamiinat.
