California enacted a law in 1850 that allowed enslaving Native Americans (esp. under the California Statutes of 1850, Chapter 133), and in 19511851 they allowed settlers to kill Native Americans when forming 'militias' and have the state pay for the expenses of such lynch mobs. The general stance of California toward the Native Americans at that time was very hostile(different mirror):
It took the US Army to halt any further violence in 1862 and the 19511851/52 laws that allowed the enslavement and murder of native Americans in California were revoked in 1862. There are little to no attempts to rectify this chapter of Californian History.
