Relocation of the Patwin
1906-1907
The federal government purchases land for an Indian reservation west of Rumsey in the Capay Valley. Two years later the Patwin people living in their last “free” village along Cache Creek are reluctantly relocated to the Rumsey Indian Rancheria. The site has new wood frame dwellings but a poor water supply, and little land suitable for cultivation.
