California Superintendency of Indian Affairs

History
The California Superintendency of Indian Affairs was established in 1852. After the Superintendency was abolished in 1873, the agents reported directly to the Office of Indian Affairs in Washington, DC. Correspondence was still filed under "California" until the filing system was changed in 1881, however.
