Most of the accounts are for sales of land from former Indian reservations and from unappropriated lands. Unappropriated lands are all unconveyed state lands, including those belonging to the Common School Fund, escheated lands, lands conveyed to the state for benefit of the Canal Fund, or by foreclosure of mortgage to U.S. Deposit Fund or any other loan by the state.
