"Although we coexist with modern society, we are committed to preserving our native language and culture for future generations. In order to preserve the culture, history and heritage of the Native American Peoples, San Manuel has purchased the war video archives building from San Bernardinos Norton Air Force Base. The building will become a curatorial archive of Native American artifacts from across the nation. At San Manuel, we feel that this will be an opportunity for future generations to see a forgotten chapter in American History - who we were and who we are." Henry Duro - Tribal Chairman 1997 |
