Robinson Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California — lands ceded, 1851

Lands ceded to the United States by treaty, law or executive order, 1851, as Charles C. Royce recorded them in 1899 — 29,340 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: Ca-la-na-po · Cha-nel-kai · Che-com · Da-no-ha-bo · Ha-bi-na-po · How-ku-ma · Me-dam-a-rec · Mo-al-kai

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