San Manuel Band of Mission Indians

The Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation, formerly known as the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, is a federally recognized Native American tribe located in San Bernardino County, California. The tribe's ancestral name, Yuhaaviatam, translates to "People of the Pines," reflecting their deep connection to the land and natural world.
