Box 355 Penryn, CA. 95663 January 6, 2017 VIA Email, Fax and First Class Mail Amy Dutschke, Regional Director Pacific Regional Office Bureau of Indian Affairs 2800 Cottage Way Sacramento, CA 95825 RE: Wilton Rancheria Fee-to-Trust Application for Land in Elk Grove, California Dear Regional Director Dutschke: On behalf of Stand Up For California! (Stand Up), Elk Grove GRASP, the Committee to Protect Elk Grove Values, and concerned citizens of Elk Grove, we submit these supplemental comments in response to the Bureau of Indian Affairs’ (BIA) November 17, 2016 Notice of (Gaming) Land Acquisition Application (Notice) for the Wilton Rancheria’s (Rancheria) new preferred casino site in the City of Elk Grove. Thank you for your December 9, 2016 extension of the comment period until January 6, 2017. These comments are based on research into the history and genealogy of the Wilton Rancheria by Dr. Stephen Dow Beckham, Pamplin Professor of History, Emeritus, at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon. A copy of his report is enclosed. This research raises a number of troubling issues regarding BIA’s authority to take land into trust for the Rancheria, as well as the propriety of BIA’s processing of the Rancheria’s request. First and foremost, as a result of this research, we are able to document that Regional Director Dutschke has multiple family relatives in the membership of the Wilton Rancheria.1 These family relations raise a clear conflict of interest. Based on news stories at the time, Stand Up requested that Regional Director Dutschke recuse herself for this reason from supervising BIA’s 1 Regional Director Dutschke is related to Rancheria members of the extended Hatch family as first cousin once removed and second cousin.

We know that civilizations rise and fall, that nations are born and then die, and that periods of repression follow eras of license; but usually it is difficult for us to see when the changes begin, to know what forces deflect the course of events.

My assignment was to research the history of the Wilton Rancheria in Sacramento County, California. The investigations were to examine purchase of the land, relations between its residents and the federal government, identities of the families residing on the Rancheria, operation of community governance, and Termination. The project also involved examination of tribal distribution in the area of the Wilton Rancheria and the unratified treaty of September 18, 1851. Research for this project was carried out at the National Archives, San Bruno, California, and in selected monographs and books, many of them published by the University of California, Berkeley, and by the Smithsonian Institution. I have drawn on more than fifty years of experience working with these materials. These labors commenced in 1964 with graduate study in History and Anthropology at the University of California, Los Angeles. My chosen field was ethnohistory, particularly the tribes of California and the American West. I carried out all of the research and drafted my report.

Period Characteristics (adapted from Fredrickson 1974)...........................................................CR-3 Table CR-2. Folsom Lake State Recreation Area Cultural Resources .........................................................CR-16 i CULTURAL RESOURCES Introduction LSA Associates, Inc. has prepared this summary to provide a cultural resources background for the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area (the Unit). The purpose of this summary is to: • Describe the archaeological and historical setting of the region encompassing the Unit • Characterize the types of archaeological and historical resources that have been identified or may potentially occur within the Unit (a complete list of previously identified sites is included in Table CR-2 located in the Appendix of this section) • Identify areas of cultural resource sensitivity Literature reviewed includes published articles, maps, agency files and previous studies pertaining to the Unit. Primary sources for background research were provided by the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) and consisted primarily of previously recorded site records and study reports. A list of source documents is included in the References subsection. No field investigations were performed as part of this Resource Inventory. Prehistoric Setting The Unit lies where the lower Sacramento Valley and Delta meets the Sierra Nevada foothills. At the time of European contact, the land which became the Unit lay within the territory of the Nisenan, the southern linguistic group of the Maidu tribe (Wilson and Towne 1978:387). Archaeologists, however, hypothesize that the Nisenan at some point displaced the earlier occupants of the region, the Washoe.

There are 18 buildings within the ranch complex, two of which are of individual importance, Workers' Residence No. 2 and a brick silo. Workers' Residence No. 2 embodies the distinctive characteristics of a National Folk style house. The only modification to the building is the change to corrugated metal roofing, and possibly the small, shed-roofed porch and electrical wiring. The house is one of the few, small farm houses of its type and age remaining, in the area. The clay tile silo is distinctive in its design and construction and is unusual for the Central California region and quite possibly unique to the Elk Grove area. Most of the surviving silos in the local area were built in the early years of the 20th century and constructed of concrete rings surrounded by steel bands.
