     First, choose a map (below), then find the number on the map of the area that interests you, then match that number in the Treaty List below. Each map has mulitple numbers that correspond with the numbers in the list below.
     You will need to use your “Back” button to return here from the Large maps. Because the maps are larger than your screen, you will need to use the slide controls at the side and bottom of the frame to move the maps.
     The maps are from the original book Indian Land Cessions in the United States, Compiled by Charles C. Royce. It was published in The 18th Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology -- 1896-’97, Vol II, Smithsonian Institution, printed by the Government Printing Office, 1899. The cession (treaty) text is from Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties. Vol. II (Treaties), Compiled and edited by Charles J. Kappler, Washington : Government Printing Office, 1904. Both books are from the collection of Fred Smoot.
     NOTE: The cession numbers found on the Royce maps are matched to text entries also found in his book. This gives us the date, place, nation, etc., of the cession. The cession information is then matched to a treaty from Kappler’s book. Additional treaties for these areas (generally not involving land cessions) which are not found on the Royce maps, will be included in chronological order (below) and will be linked as such: (***).
