Project Homeland › Nations

Pauma Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the Pauma & Yuima Reservation, California

Lands ceded to the United States by treaty, law or executive order, 1852, as Charles C. Royce recorded them in 1899 — 23,995 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: Co-com-cah-ra · Kah-wè-a · San Luis Rey
