The terms of the treaty provided that a comniissson, accompanied by delegates 

 from the tribe, should visitthe Indian country and select, if ])0S8ible, atract 

 suitable for a reservation not larger than 30 miles square. The commission 

 and the delegates visited the country, but the Indians, changing their minds, 

 returned homo without making a selection. The commission, nevertheless, 

 selected a location between the Red Fork of the Arkansas and the Xortli 

 fork of the Canadian, against which the Indians ]irote.8ted. In 1870 the 

 Potawatomi again visited the couutry and made a selection which was ap- 

 proved by the Secretary of the Interior. The tract decided on was located 

 between the Canadian Eiyer and its Js'orth fork, was bounded on the cast by 

 the Seminole lands, and extended west to include 900 square miles. Its 

 boundaries as actuallj' surveyed are given in the opposite colximn. It is com- 

 posed partly of land ceded by Creek treaty of ,lune 14, 1866, and ]iartly of 

 lanil ceded by Seminole treaty of Mar. 21, 1866. 



This cession comprised two separate tracts. Afterward portions of it were 

 again set apart for the Inilians by Executive orders as follows : Oct. 29, 1873, 

 atract as an addition to the Lake Winnebagoshish reservation, bounded by 

 yellow lines and numbered .549; Nov. 4, 1873, a tract as an addition to tlie 

 Leech Lake reservation, bounded by yellow lines and numbered 550; May 

 26, 1874, a tract as a si'cond adilition to the Leech Lake reservation, bounded 

 by yellow lines and numbered 567, and May 26, 1874, a tract as a second addi- 

 tion to the Lake Winnebagoshish reservation, bounded by yellow lines and 

 numbered 568. Thus, it will be observed, the entire cession liy this treaty of 

 Mar. 19, 1867, is numbered .507, and .shown by solid crimson color, while Nos. 

 .549, 5.50, 567, and .568, which are within its limits, are simply indicated by yel- 

 low boundary lines.
