- Title
MAKING INDIAN LAND IN THE ALLOTMENT ERA: NORTHERN CALIFORNIA'S INDIAN RANCHERIAS.
- Authors
SCHNEIDER, KHAL
- Abstract
This essay examines the problem of Indian land recovery in three Northern California counties. In the late nineteenth century, Pomo wageworkers bought small community rancherias. The federal government made similar purchases in the early twentieth century for the "landless Indians of California" but held the land in trust for discrete groups of "wards."
