The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians placed the winning bid on 25 acres of surplus state land.
The tribe paid just over $7 million for the land, The Riverside Press-Enterprise reported. The purchase more than triples the tribe's holdings near a planned hotel and retail development, the paper said.
The tribe already owns 12 acres where it plans to break ground on a hotel in 2006. A tribal official said plans haven't been made for the new purchase.
