Indian act of 1850
authorize the arrest of “vagrant” natives who could then be “hired out” to the highest bidder. This act also enabled white persons to go before a justice of the peace to obtain Indian children “For indenture.”
This act may have affected as many as 20,000 Californian Indians, including 4000 children kidnapped from their parents & employed as domestic servants & farm laborers
