Welcome to our second issue of Hamiinat - the magazine of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians. The title translates to “hello” in the
Maara’yam (Serrano Indian) language, and that is just what we want to extend to you – a warm hello. Our cover story is an in-depth look at the most exciting development to come to the Inland Empire in the last several decades: Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel. This
new luxury hotel and casino signals a rebrand of San Manuel Casino and brings with it a new name, offerings and visual identity. Inspired by the traditions of the Serrano people in their ancestral lands, the “Y” logo recalls yucca plant fronds in a woven basket pattern, a homage to the Tribe’s skilled basket weavers. We thank you for being our guest and can’t wait to share our many new and exciting offerings as well as our culture with you.
