Tuesday, January 18, 1922. The Lost Treaties.

"[D]elegation of Native American men from California representing 300 tribes and bands of Californian Indians assembled to petition Congress to honor the Lost Treaties of 1851 and 1852"

The men were seeking to have Congress honor 18 treaties signed in that time frame in California that provided reservations for various Californian Native American bands. Under pressure from California, the treaties had been kept secret and dishonored.


Congress' power in this area is nearly absolute, creating a completely now irreconcilable situation.
