![["The Pit River Indians historically occupied a large area of land in California, which was taken by the Federal Government without compensation. In 1938, funds were appropriated for the purchase of a reservation for the Pit River Indians, leading to the establishment of the XL Ranch Indian Reservation. However, there is a dispute over who should benefit from the reservation, with a small group known as the Pit River Home and Agricultural Cooperative Association monopolizing the land. This group has excluded other Pit River Indians from the reservation, leading to bitterness and resentment among the community. The Bureau of Indian Affairs has shown favoritism towards the Association, further exacerbating the dispute. There are also concerns about the lack of communication and resources provided to the broader Pit River Tribe. Overall, there is a complex and ongoing dispute over the ownership and management of the XL Ranch Indian Reservation."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_12_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Pit%20River%20Indians%20Correspondence,%20Injunction,%20Background,%201969-1970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_12_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Dispute over XL Ranch Indian Reservation: Historical Injustices and Current Controversies")
![["The Pit River Indians are petitioning Congress to deal justly with their claim to the XL Ranch Indian Reservation. They want Congress to add land to the reservation to be held in trust for the Pit River Indians in California, as designated by the Secretary of the Interior in accordance with the Indian Reorganization Act. They do not want any bill to designate beneficiaries without giving all concerned Indians a chance to be heard. The petition includes signatures from various members of the Pit River Tribe."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_12_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Pit%20River%20Indians%20Correspondence,%20Injunction,%20Background,%201969-1970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_12_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Pit River Indians' Petition to Congress for Justice and Fair Treatment: A Plea for the XL Ranch Indian Reservation")
![["The document discusses the misconception that the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Service do not serve off-reservation Indians, emphasizing that they do provide services to off-reservation Indians and that they have a moral claim to such services. It also provides demographic background information on the population of Indians living on and off reservations in the United States."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_3_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Health,%201969-1971/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_3_0018_thumbnail.jpg "Participation of Off-Reservation Indians in Bureau of Indian Affairs and Indian Health Service Programs: A Misconception Addressed")
![["The letter is from California Indian Legal Services to Congressman John N. Happy Camp regarding a dispute over the XL Ranch Indian Reservation in Modoc County, California. The Department of the Interior has recommended amending a bill to designate a specific group as the sole beneficiary of the reservation, instead of following the original bill's intent to hold the land in trust for the Pit River Indian bands designated by the Secretary of the Interior. The letter urges the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs to reject the proposed amendment and follow the original bill as introduced by Congressman Johnson. The letter also mentions ongoing legal proceedings and requests a fair hearing for the Pit River Indians involved in the dispute."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_12_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Pit%20River%20Indians%20Correspondence,%20Injunction,%20Background,%201969-1970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_12_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Letter to Congressman Regarding Pit River Indian Tribe Land Dispute")
