roxcr.] CONFLICTING BOUNDARY CLAIMS OF INDIAN TRIBES. 255 
The conflicting cessions in that State may be briefly enumerated as fol- 
lows: 
1. The cession at the mouth of Chicago River, by treaty of August 3, 
1795, was also included within the limits of a subsequent cession made 
by treaty of August 24, 1816, with the Ottawas, Chippewas, and Pot- 
tawatomies. 
2. The cession at the mouth of the Illinois River, by treaty of 1795, 
was overlapped by the Kaskaskia cession of 1803, again by the Sac and 
Fox cession of 1804, and a third time by the Kickapoo cession of 1819. 
3. The cession at ‘Old Peoria Fort, or village,” by treaty of 1795, was 
also overlapped in like manner with the last preceding one. 
4, The cessions of 1795 at Fort Massac and at Great Salt Spring are 
within the subsequent cession by the Kaskaskias of 1803. 
5. The cession of August 13, 1803, by the Kaskaskias, as ratified and 
enlarged by the Kaskaskias and Peorias September 25, 1818, overlaps 
the several sessions by previous treaty of 1795 at the mouth of the Ili- 
nois River, at Great Salt Spring, at Fort Massac, and at Old Peoria 
Fort, and is in turn overlapped by subsequent cessions of July 30, and 
August 30, 1819, by the Kickapoos and by the Pottawatomie cession of 
October 20, 1832. 
6. The Sae and Fox cession of November 3, 1804 (partly in Missouri 
and Wisconsin) overlaps the cessions of 1795 at the mouth of the Hlinois 
River and at Old Peoria Fort. It is overlapped by two Chippewa, 
Ottawa, and Pottawatomie cessions of July 29, 1829, the Winnebago 
cessions of August 1, 1829, and September 1°, 1832, and by the Chip- 
pewa, Ottawa, and Pottawatomie cession of September 26, 1833. 
7. The Piankeshaw cession of December 30, 1805, is overlapped by 
the Kickapoo cession of 1819. 
8. The Ottawa, Chippewa, and Pottawatomie cession of August 24, 
1816, overlaps the cession of 1795 around Chicago. 
9. The cession of October 2, 1818, by the Pottawatomies (partly in 
Indiana), is overlapped by the subsequent cession of 1819, by the Kick- 
apoos. 
10. The combined cessions of July 30, and August 30, 1819, by the 
Kickapoos (partly in Indiana), overlap the cessions of 1795 at the mouth 
of the Illinois River and at Old Fort Peoria; also the Kaskaskia and 
Peoria cessions of 1803 and 1818, the Piankeshaw cession of 1805, and 
the Pottawatomie cession of October 2, 1818, and are overlapped by 
the subsequent Pottawatomie cession of October 20, 1832. 
11. Two cessions were made by the Chippewas, Ottawas and Potta- 
watomies by treaty of July 29, 1829 (partly located in Wisconsin), one 
of which is entirely and the other largely within the limits of the 
country previously ceded by the Sacs and Foxes, November 3, 1804. 
‘12. The Winnebago cession of August 1, 1829 (which is partly in 
Wisconsin), is also wholly within the limits of the aforesaid Sac and 
Fox cession of 1804.
