Warner's Ranch Indian Advisory Commission.

Hide Profile

In 1901, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a California State Supreme Court decision and ruled that the owners of Warner's Ranch in Southern California had the right to evict the Indians who had lived on the land for generations. In response to public concern for the Indians expressed by individuals including members of the Sequoya League (composed of David Starr Jordan, George Bird Grinnell, Charles F. Lummis and others), Congress allocated funds for the purchase of land on which the Indians could be relocated. The Warner's Ranch Indian Advisory Commission (Charles F. Lummis, Chairman, Russell C. Allen, Charles L. Partridge, William Collier, and R. Egan) was appointed on May 28, 1902, to aid the U.S. Secretary of the Interior in selecting a suitable tract of land in Southern California for the relocation of the "Warner's Ranch Indians."
