Note: This is a federally-recognized reservation stewarded by the La Posta Band of Mission Indians, one of the 12 remaining bands of the Kumeyaay Indian Nation. The reservation spans over 3,556 acres in San Diego County, California, just west of the Manzanita and Campo Indian Reservations. Though the Kumeyaay peoples are widely recognized as the original inhabitants of what is now San Diego County, their ancestral lands were taken into private ownership or forcibly ceeded to the federal government throughout the late 18th and early- to mid- 19th centuries. The La Posta Band of Mission Indians did not receive a federally-recognized reservation until February 10, 1893, when the federal government allocated land for tribal use pursuant to a congressional Act dated January 12, 1891. In 1910, members of the La Posta Band were forcibly displaced to the nearby Campo Indian Reservation while the Bureau of Indian Affairs attempted to sell the La Posta Reservation. However, descendants of the forcibly relocated reservation inhabitants reclaimed the La Posta Reservation for continued tribal use in 1965. |
