An important aspect of studying Native American history is understanding the nature of trust lands. Budding historians will learn that as Native Americans were removed from their home lands, trust lands were provided in the form of reservations, rancherias, and allotments. They'll use sticky notes and a regional map to show where the trust lands are located throughout the southern central California region.
