The Band

Manzanita Band of Mission Indians
The Kumeyaay (Diegueño) Indians of the Manzanita Reservation

Location: Southeastern San Diego County, in the western part of the Corrizo Desert, near the town of Boulevard, CA and bordering the Campo and La Posta reservations.
Area: 3,579 acres
Population: @ 69
Tribal Chairman: Leroy Elliott (2005)

Living in the infertile upland valleys and meadows of the Corrizo Desert, the Manzanita Indians are engaged in the small-scale agriculture (vegetables and herbs) and in the solar and wind energy projects. They have also plans for one or two casinos and the construction began on the big off-road motor park.

Their flag flies at the Tribal Headquarters in Boulevard, CA. It is white, with the Great Seal featuring a soaring eagle in the center.
