Peters's father was reportedly allowed to stay on his land after the end of the Rogue River Wars rather than be removed to a reservation.[4] Mary Peters, popularly known as "Indian Mary" – not to be confused with a different Native American woman also living in Oregon during the same period (Kalliah Tumulth, a Watlala Chinook) and also known as "Indian Mary"[4] – lived on the land where her father had operated a ferry to transport miners and supplies in Southern Oregon until his death on November 13, 1886. After his death, Peters applied for a claim for the land under the Dawes Act, also known as the "Indian Homestead Act."[6] Eight years later, she received a little more than 72 acres. Her 25-year land deed has often been described as the smallest Indian reservation in the United States.[5][6][7] In 1958, the land was converted by Josephine County to Indian Mary Park, named after Peters.[8][6][9] She continued to operate her father's ferry business after his death. In 1894 she leased the ferry to William Massie and moved with her two surviving daughters to Grants Pass.[10][11] She moved to Salem in 1920 to be near her daughters.[11] Peters died in 1921 and is buried in Salem's City View Cemetery.[2] LegacyThe papers of Mary Peters and her daughters, Rosetta Farlow and Lillian Fairfield, are housed in the Siletz Tribal Cultural Collections in Siletz, Oregon.[11] See also
