The Chickasaw nation, finding themselves oppressed in their 

 present situation by being made subject to the laws of the

 in the West where they may live and be j;overned by their

 Chickasaw nation cede to the U. S. all the bind which they 

 own on the E.side of the Mississippi river, including all the

 sissippi, shall be definitely ascertained and e.stablished.

 by the treatv of Edwardsville, July 30, 1819, and supplemen- 

 tary treaty of St Louis, July 19, 1820. 



The IL S. agree to ))rovide for the Kickapoo tribe a country to 

 reside in SW. of the Missouri river, as their permanent home

 apoo tribe are now willing to remove from the country ceded 

 on (_>sage river, in thestateof Missouri, tothe country selected
