A picture of the Auberry Indian Mission at Big Sandy Rancheria. The
picture is grainy because it was copied from the newspaper. The
mission was run by the Methodist Church. Most Indian children
elementary school age were sent to the church run school in North
Fork. The North Fork school was a live-in situation where the
students lived apart from their families. Indian traditions, e.g.
language, stories and legends, etc., were discouraged by the
church.
