November is #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, a time to celebrate the culture and history of our nation's indigenous people. Big Bear Valley sits on ancestral lands of the Yuhaaviatam - "People of the Pines" - who inhabited the area for millennia until the arrival of gold miners, hunters, and other settlers. Known today at the @sanmanuelband of Mission Indians, learn more about their history at sanmanuel-nsn.gov ... 📷: Sam Rice ... #NativeAmericans #indigenouspeoples #nativeculture #nativehistory #visitbigbear #bigbear #bigbearlake
