In the record
The United States made one treaty or agreement that names Es-kuin as a party: California Treaty G: Bidwell's Ranch, Chico Creek, 1851 (unratified).
The records group it with Maidu. Today, Mechoopda Indian Tribe of Chico Rancheria carries this history, as their own pages or research records say.
Written from the records linked here; open any of them for its sources. This is what the United States’ treaty record says, not the nation’s own account.
