Mooretown Rancheria of Maidu Indians of California

Lands ceded to the United States by treaty, law or executive order, 1851, as Charles C. Royce recorded them in 1899 — 14,083 km² in 2 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: Bat-si · Che-no · Es-ki-un · Ho-lo-lu-pi · Mi-chop-da · Sim-sa-wa · Su-nu · To-to
