Hoopa Valley Tribe, California — lands ceded, 1851–1864

Lands ceded to the United States by treaty, law or executive order, 1851–1864, as Charles C. Royce recorded them in 1899 — 19,073 km² in 3 cessions across California.

A cession records when the United States took title — not the full extent of a homeland, and much land was taken without any treaty. The link between each cession and present-day nations is the one the U.S. Forest Service and the National NAGPRA Program’s dataset records; the nation’s own account comes first.

Named in the treaties as: Hoo-pah or Trinity river · Peh-tuck or Upper Klamath · Poh-lik or Lower Klamath · Hupa (S. Fork, Redwood, and Grouse Creek bands)

No trail in Project Homeland crosses these lands yet. A map that shows one, traced in, would add it.
