CESSIONS OF 1863

L^ND CESSIO]SrS-Contiinaed, 



Hhtorhal ihita inid reiiiarku 



Ceded by treaty of Mar. 8, 1865 



For disposal of this eouutry see treaty of July 3, 1868. 



This treaty was with Pocataligo's band, who claimed that portion of the Sho- 

 shoni country lying between Port Neuf mountains and Raft river. This 

 eouutry comprised a portion of that ceded by treaty of July 3, 1868. 



Associated with these bands more or less intimately were the Bannock. The 

 reports concerning their respective boundaries are involved in much confusion 

 and contradiction. The truth seems to be that both tribes ranged in large 

 measure and with equal freedom over the same vast extent of territory, with 

 the exception that in Nevada the Bannock were seldom found S. of 41*^ 

 N. latitude. No formal purchase of the territorial claim of these tribes or 

 bands was made, but the U. S. took possession of the same, assuming the right 

 of satisfying their claim by aisigning them such reservations as might seeui 

 essential for their occupancy, and supplying them in such degree as might 

 seem proper with necessaries of life. 



For a separate definition of the bound.aries of the Shoshoni-Goship, see treaty 

 with that Viand of Oct. 12, 1863. 



For reservations established under this authority see Lemhi reserve, by Execu- 

 tive order of Feb. 12, 187.5; Carliii Farms reserve, by Executive order of 

 May 10, 1877, and Duck Valley reserve, by P^xecutive order of Apr. 16, 1877. 

 A reservation had also been established in 1859 at Ruby valley, but after a 

 few years of occupancy it was abandoned. 



This cession is overlapped by the Sisseton and Wahpeton cession of Sept. 20, 1872, 

 and also by a small SE. corner of the Devils Lake reserve, established by 

 treat V of Feb. 19, 1867. 



This treaty was practically superseded by treaty of Mar. 2, 1868, with the Con- 

 federated bantis of Uta. A treaty was. however, concluded in the meantime 

 by ■Superinteudeut Irish on .lune 8. 1X65, with the various bands of I'ta, 

 wherein they ceded all claim to land in I'tah. except the Uintah reserve. 

 The treaty, however, was not assented to by the Senate.
