The Royce Number designation on this legend refers to the numbering system used by C.C. Royce to represent the 1851-1852 treaty lands reserved for the California Indians. See Charles C. Royce, Indian Land Cessions in the United States, Bureau of American Ethnology Eighteenth Annual Report, vol. 2, Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, 1899.
Treaty “O” was made with a certain cultural group(s) setting apart reserved lands near Clear Lake. Treaty “P” was made with other cultural group(s) requiring them to move to the reserved lands near Clear Lake. These treaties represent the same reserved lands despite the fact that they were different treaties negotiated on different dates and with different parties.
