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.

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.
