San Manuel Band donates stadium to school


A high school in California has a new football stadium and athletic field thanks to the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians.

Stephanie Bustamante, the tribal secretary, attended San Gorgonio High School more than 20 years ago. While watching her son play football, she noticed the stadium hadn't changed much.

"So I went to the tribe, and this is the result," she told The Riverside Press-Enterprise of the new facility she toured on Wednesday. The tribe reportedly spent about $3 million on the project.

Many tribal members currently attend or graduated from San Gorgonio.
