The local economy of the Mohave and Chemehuevi Indian community and the non-Indian community of Parker grew in the context of two federal land policies designed to promote growth in the Far West, allotment and reclamation. Using United States Bureau of Indian Affairs, General Land Office, and Bureau of Census records as well as newspapers and other public and private chronicles, this study reveals how progressive programs encouraged non-Indian settlement of arid Indian lands while at the same time intermittently fostering Indian development of the same resources. Federal ambitions to reclaim desert lands bordering the lower Colorado River led to both the creation of Parker and the allotment of irrigated Indian homesteads on the reservation. |
