David Laughing Horse Robinson, in the last days before the Kern Board of Supervisors meeting, raised what appears to be a claim that Tejon Mountain Village (TMV) is to be built on Kawaiisu land.  He is featured in the following video which implies that Tejon Ranch has no right to develop.

According to Laer Pearce, representing Tejon Mountain Village, Native American tribes on Tejon land were moved to the valley floor on the northern part of the ranch in 1850.  The Tejon Sebastion reservation was started in 1853 and Congress dissolved the reservation in 1864.  Four reservations were then started away from the ranch.  If the Kawaiisu still had land there, it would be miles from TMV.

The Kawaiisu claimed Tejon land in a 1924 case before the Supreme Court in U S v. TITLE INSURANCE & TRUST CO., 265 U.S. 472 (1924) .  The court ruled the Kawaiisu did not own the land.

The courts below held that the claim of the Indians, if they had any, was abandoned and lost by the failure to present it to the commission, and that the patent issued on the confirmation of the grant passed the full title, unincumbered by any right in the Indians. In so holding, those courts gave effect to what they understood to be the decision of this court in Barker v. Harvey, 181 U.S. 481 , 21 Sup. Ct. 690. 

...The court further said the purpose of the act of 1851 was to give repose to titles as well as to fulfill treaty obligations, and that it not only permitted, but required, all claims to be presented to the commission...

...If these Indians had any claims founded on the action of the Mexican government, they abandoned them by not presenting them to the commission for consideration...

Kern County consulted with a member of the Kawaiisu Tribe to confirm the tribe itself was not making a claim to Tejon land.  David Laughing Horse Robinson was not authorized by his tribe to do so.  Bakersfield.com quoted Julie Turner, secretary of the Kern Valley Indian Community to Kern County planners saying "Mr. Robinson does not represent us in any way, he isn't the tribal chairman...He is the self-proclaim(ed) chairman of a tribe of one.  He is always making claims that are false and I hope that the planning commission doesn't take anything that he says seriously."
