General Note. — After the selection by Mr Schoolcraft of the 20,000 and 

 70,000 acre reserves under this treaty, he was advised that the U. S. might 

 conclude to allow the Indians to remain on the other reserves after the expi- 

 ration of the live years. He was therefore instructed, Nov. 5, 1810, that the 

 boundaries of all the reserves under this treaty ought to be marked. Aug. 

 23, 1814, the Indian Office advised the General Land Office that these reserves 

 ought not to be surveyed as public lands, the Indians having been tacitly 

 allowed to remaiji thereon since the treaty. 



In 1845 the assent of the Indians was obtained for the extension of the public 

 surveys over these reserves, but no deliuito boundaries were marked out for 

 them. 



As late as June 7, 1850, the Indian Office notified the General Land Office that 

 the Indians still occupied these tracts and the latter must not be ottered for 

 sale as public lands. Tliis state of affairs, iu fact, continued until other pro- 

 vision was made by the treaty of 1855.
