CLAIMS OF CALIFORNIA INDIANS 51
APPENDIX A
Details of Proposed Settlement
Summary ;
The total value of the treaty items—lands, articles and
chattels, and services—has been determined to be $17,816,624.48. From this amount is deducted $12,650,761.02 as
offsets in accordance with the provisions of the Jurisdictional
Act of May 18,1928. This leaves a net sum of $5,165,863.46
as the amount of the proposed settlement. (Schedule 1)
Total Value
The total value of lands, articles and chattels, and services
of $17,816,624.48 is the sum of the values as of June 28, 1852,
of the items promised in each of the unratified treaties as
summarized in Schedule 2 and detailed in Schedules 2A to 2R.
The quantities of articles and chattels used in the computations are those enumerated in the treaties. In the case of
four articles of clothing—blankets, shirts, pants and linsey
gowns—total quantities were not stated but were specified
as a certain number to “each man and woman over 15 years
of age,” “each man and boy over 15 years of age,” or “each
man and boy”; and “‘each woman and girl.”
It was necessary, therefore, to estimate the number of
men, women, boys and girls to arrive at quantities for blankets,
pants, shirts and linsey gowns. Such estimates were made as
follows:
1—An estimate of 110,000 as the total number of Indians
in California in 1851-52 was accepted by both parties,
2—On the basis of the statement in the decision of the i
Court of Claims that the treaty Indians represented % to %
of the total number of Indians in California in 1851-52, the
fraction of five-twelfths was used to estimate the number of
Indians represented by the treaties.
3—Applying this fraction to 110,000 it was estimated that
the treaty Indians numbered 45,833 and the non-treaty
Indians, 64,167.
