We support economic development, education, and self-determination for all Native Americans and tribes as part of a broader focus on development opportunities for Native nations across the country. Consistent with applicable law, it is the policy of San Manuel Band of Mission Indians to give preference to employees and applicants who are of  Native American descent, with the first order of preference to San Manuel Tribal Citizens.

A vital step that ensures the self-sustainability of a community is to create opportunities for employment.  Not only does a strong workforce stimulate a community’s economy but a great career can encourage a person’s innate gifts and provide them with a strong sense of purpose. To continue in our Tribe’s pursuit of the advancement of Native Americans, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians extends preference to qualified candidates of Native American descent as part of our hiring process.
