In January 1891, Special Agent I. P. Fell reported on the Round Valley Reservation in Mendocino County, California, home to various tribes, including the Koukan and Yuki. Covering 102,118 acres, the reservation supports an Indian population of 581 who live mainly in government-built wooden shanties. While some engage in agriculture and herding, challenges persist due to market access and social issues, including intermingling races and early immorality among youth. Despite having schools and regular religious services, significant cultural influences remain, hindering moral and intellectual progress.
