Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation celebrates its Serrano heritage by preserving language, traditions, and community values and passing them to future generations.
We are Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation
For generations, our Tribe has persevered through great change and extreme hardship. Long before the arrival of European settlers, our ancestors lived in harmony with the land across the highlands, passes, valleys, and mountains in and between the southwestern Mojave Desert and Inland Empire region in what is now Southern California. Known as the Yuhaaviatam clan, or “People of the Pines,” of the Maara’yam (Serrano), our people held sacred everything the land provided, and we thrived as an independent, self-sustaining community.
