Project Homeland › Nations

Ione Band of Miwok Indians of California

Lands ceded to the United States by treaty, law or executive order, 1851–1859, as Charles C. Royce recorded them in 1899 — 29,906 km² in 6 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: A-pang-asse · Aplache · A-wall-a-che · Co-co-noon · Po-to-yan-ti · Si-yan-te · Chap-pah-sim · Co-to-plan-e-nee
