Note 67 — Chapter XXXI · THE INDIANS OF CALIFORNIA

In thirteen cases I found the land the Indians were occupying, that is, the more valuable little valleys, was outside of the reservation as laid out and in six of these cases the land occupied was not only unpatented and unprotected, but the land patented to the Indians was barren rocks, utterly worthless. In one case the reservation patented was six miles away from the land selected for the Indians in an entirely different township. In most cases the boundaries were not marked at all and the adjoining owners moved the lines over onto the Indians.
