Read with context

Primary source for the Commission's 1993 inquiry and recommendations, with mediated historical evidence. The Commission explicitly says it is not a court. This is not proof of a later settlement or the current range's status.

Questions to investigate

  1. How does the report distinguish reserve lands from the wider lands used for livelihoods?
  2. Identify how community testimony and administrative records contribute different evidence.
