Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report on the Condition and Needs of the Mission Indians of California: To the Commissioner of Indian Affairs Sir: In compliance with our instructions bearing dates November 28 1882, and January 12, 1883, we have the honor to submit to you the following report on the subject of the Mission Indians in Southern California. The term "Mission Indians" dates back over one hundred years, to the time of the Franciscan missions in California. It then included all Indians who lived in the mission establishments, or were under the care of the Franciscan fathers. Very naturally the term has continued to be applied to the descendants of those Indians. This estimate probably falls considerably short of the real numbers, as there are no doubt in hiding, so to speak, in remote and inaccessible pots, many individuals, families, or even villages, that have never been counted. These Indians are living for the most part in small and isolated villages; some on reservations set apart for them by Executive order; some on Government land not reserved, and some upon lands included within the boundaries of confirmed Mexican grants. Considerable numbers of these Indians are also to be found on the outskirts of white settlements, as at Riverside, San Bernardino, or in the colonies in the San Gabriel Valley, where they live like gypsies in brush huts, here to-day, gone to-morrow, eking out a miserable existence by days´ works, the wages of which are too often spent for whisky in the village saloons.
