In the record
C. C. Royce’s 1899 schedule records 3 cessions of land from Round Valley Indian Tribes: about 140 thousand acres by this atlas’s estimate, counting overlaps once. 2 of them came through executive orders. The largest was Land of the Round Valley Reservation Indians in California, taken 1873 (area 583), about 141 thousand acres.
This nation carries the history of Pomo in the treaty record. Land has come back: Blues Beach transfer to Kai Poma (Pomo tribes).
