Designation of cestion on map 



Again enlarged by Executive order of Sept. 6, 1873. This second enlargement 

 embraced only fractional sec. 34, T. 21 N., R. 3 E., and is too small to be 

 detinitely shown on the map. As thus enlarged it constitutes the present 

 Puyallup reserve. 



As thus enlarged in size and changed in location it constitutes the present 

 Nisqually reserve. 



Supplemented by Executive order of Apr. 9, 1874, and as thus established consti- 

 tutes the present Muckleshoot reserve. For boundaries see that order. 



This cession is overl.ipped by Sioux cession of June 23, 1875, indicated by a blue 

 line, and Sioux cession of Sept. 26, 1876, indicated by a mauve line. It is also 

 overlapped by the Sioux reserve established by treaty of Apr. 29, 1868. 



See acts of Congress, Apr. 10, 187(1, and June 10, 1872. 



Notwithstanding the treaty of 1812 the Tonawanda Seneka refused to remove 

 from their reserve. This treaty of ls.">7 was therefore negotiated, and under 

 its provisions the Indians repurchased from Ogdeu and Fellows and their 

 gr.intees, portions of the reserve amounting in the aggregate to about 7, .550 

 acres. The boundaries of the tracts thus repurchased are shown on the map 

 by scarlet lines. The quantity surrendered is shown between the scarlet 

 lines and the boundaries of the original tract. 



By the Fort Laramie treaty of 1851 the E. line of the Sionx territory vras fixed 

 "by a line drawn from the mouth of White river in the direction of the forks 

 of the Platte. The Ponka claimed the country beginning at the mouth of 

 Ayoway river; thence up along p;ik creek to the Old Omaha village on Elk- 

 horn river; thence westerly to the Black hills; thence along the Black hills 

 to the source of White river; thence down White river to the Missouri, and 

 thence to the beginning, but they were advised by the Commissioner of 

 Indian Aft'airs that their title was recognized only to that portion N. of the 

 Omaha cession and E. of the Sioux line by the treaty of Fort Laramie. The 

 tract herein ceded was therefore considered as comprising the land within 

 these latter limits, subject to the reservation specially made between Ponca 

 and Missouri rivers. 



It was found that from a mistaken wording of the treaty this reserve did not 

 include the tract intended for the Ponka. At the request of the Commis- 

 sioner of Indian Affairs of July 26, 1860, the Commissioner of the General 

 Land Ofiice directed that the line between Rs. 8 and 9 W. should be rec- 

 ognized as the E. boundary of the reservation instead of the line 25 miles 

 from the month of Ponca river, thus throwing the reserve about 12 miles to 

 the E. of the literal reading of the treaty. A part of this reserve, lying W. 

 of the r.inge line between Ts. 32 and 33 N., Rs. 10 and 11 W., was ceded by 

 treaty of Mar. 10, 1865, in return for the cession of fractional T. 31 N., R. 7 W. ; 

 fractional T. 32 N.. Ks. 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 \V. ; fra<>tional T. 33 N., Rs. 7 and 8 W., 

 and that part of T. 33 N., Rs. 9 and 10 W. lying S. of Ponca creek.
