San Manuel Tribal Government > Economic Diversification

Other Ventures

Economic diversification is critical to the San Manuel Band of Serrano Mission Indians as the tribe continually strives to expand its financial horizons in Southern California and beyond. The tribe works diligently to ensure a solid economic foundation for future generations by investing in diverse and strategic economic ventures, both on and off the reservation.

Economic diversification creates ways for the tribe to build a strong economy and contribute to job growth, our surrounding communities, and the long-term self-reliance of our members.
