- Title
THE WARNER'S RANCH INDIAN REMOVAL: Cultural Adaptation, Accommodation, and Continuity.
- Authors
KARR, STEVEN M.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the forced removal of the Diegueno and Cupeno Indians from their traditional settlement in Warner Springs (then known as Warner's Ranch), California in San Diego, California in the late 19th and early 20th century. The actions of the state and U.S. government leading up to and after the relocation of the Indians to a reservation in the Pala valley area are examined. It is noted that while both governments attempted to involve representatives of both tribes in the relocation process, a complete lack of cultural understanding of the individual identities of differing tribes was the dominant factor in decision making, and that the idea of allowing the tribes to remain in their homes was not considered by the legal system. The subsequent development of the shared reservation as a community following the 1903 relocation and relations between the tribes are discussed. The development of basket weaving as an economic support for the reservation is examined.
