Designation of cession on map 



For metes and bounds see 'So. 467, treaty with the Omaha, Mar. 6, 1865. To

1. The tract purchased from the Omaha Mar. 6, 1865 



2. The tract purchased from the Omaha by act of June 22, 1874 



The language of the treaty covers in its description not only what is therein 

 added to the Ponka reserve, but also the remnant of their old reserve that 

 was left to them after the cession by the first article of this treaty, which 

 latter tract is shown on Dakota map 1 — colored scarlet — as original nnceded 

 Ponka territory (No. 472). The addition referred to covers territory pre- 

 viously ceded to tlie U. S. by the Ponka (see treaty of Mar. 12, 1858) and com- 

 prises the country between Missouri and Niobrara rivers lying E. of the line 

 between ranges 8 and 9 W. This whole Ponka reserve was subsequently 

 included within the limits of the reservation assigned to the Sious by the 

 treaty of Apr. 29, 1868. 



By acts of Congress approved Aug. 15, 1876, and Mar. 3, 1877, the Ponka were 

 removed to Indian Territory, whei'e they were temporarily located in the 

 country of the Quapaw. By acts of Mar. 27, 1878, and Mar. 3, 1881, pro- 

 vision was made for their removal from the Quapaw reservation to a home 

 purchased for them in the Cherokee domain, where they now reside. 



July 1, 1865, Agent Lockhart recommended the establishment of two reserves of 

 360 acres each for the Washo in Carson and Washoe valleys. July 10, 1865, the 

 Secretary of the Interior directed that two reserves, containing in the aggre- 

 gate 8 sections, be set apart for them. Oct. 23, 1865, Agent Parker reported 

 that no suitable lands for such reserves remained vacant, and recommended 

 that no further action be taken. The original country of the Washo is here 

 shown. 



This cession conflicts with and overlaps cession of June 9, 18.55, by the Walla 

 Walla et al. ; also cession of June 25, 1855, by the Middle Oregon tribes; also 

 cession of Oct. 14, 1864, by the Klamath et al. Plat No. 474 is the portion 

 not contained in any other cession; the boundary as given in the description 

 is marked bv a scarlet line.
