In We are the Land: A History of Native California,(Akins/Bauer) this period is divined into two era: 

​​

Chapter 6 (Pf 167-) Working for Land: Rancherias, Reservations and Labor 1870-1904) exploring the unmistakable direction of demographic changes that occurred in California in the first two decades after statehood. California would be an Anglo state. While California Indian labor remained critical in some industries, it declined in importance overall as Anglo interest shifted from labor to California Indian land…High profile evictions, dispossessions, and disputes such as those at Temecula, Round Valley, and Captitan Grande, brought California Indians to the attention of reformers across the nation. Change meant actively seeking Rancherias and reservations as sites for temporary forays into the local wage-labor economy and as refuges from reliance on it. It also meant fight dispossession in the courts and on the ground.

​

Chapter 7 (Pf 201-) Friends and Enemies: Reframing Progress, and Fighting (1905-1928) tracing the growth of California Indian-led political and legal activism in the early twentieth century to illustrate the changing power relationships California Indians faced across the state. Increased non-Indian awareness of the challenges they faced, as well as growing interest in their languages and material culture, gave California Indians traction in their efforts to assert control over land, labor and citizenship…Chapters 6-7 together trace the long arc of Indian activism before it emerged into the public eye.
