Historiral (lata and remarks 



The part of this tract lying W. of Missouri river was primarily ceded to the 

 U. S. by the Sioux by treaty of Apr. 29, 1868. Its secondary appropriation to 

 the use of the Sioux, iu coujunctiou with other territory, was conliruud by 

 agreement of Sept. 26, 1876, and act of Congress Feb. 28, 1877. The ))art E. of 

 the Missouri river was partially reliii(|ni.shid by Executive order of Aug. 9, 

 1879. The entire tract as set apart by Executive order of JIar. 16, 1875, is 

 bounded by green lines on Dakota map 2. and that portion of it which still 

 remains a part of the Sioux reserve is colored green and numbered as shown 

 in the next column. 



The country comprising this addition originally belonged partly to the Crows 

 and partly to the Assiuiboiu. The Crows ceded their rights May 7, 1868. 

 The Assiniboiu ceded their claim by treaty of 1866, which was never rati- 

 fied, but the efficacy of which was admitted by the government so far as the 

 cession of land was concerneil, by assigning them a future home on the 

 Blackfoot reservation. The addition to the reserve is therefore shown on 

 Montana map 2. A portion of it was relinquished by Executive order of 

 July 13, 1880, and is colored green. The remainder is still a part of the 

 reserve and is colored mauve. (The "forty-second degree N. latitude" in 

 description should be forty-seventh.) 



See Executive order of Xov. 9, 1871 . 



This addition is bounded by yellow lines. It was partly relinquished by Exec- 

 utive order of .)an. 28, 1876, and the remainder by Executive order of May 21, 

 1883. {See explanatory note to Executive order of May 21, 1883.) 



These constitute the present boundaries of the reserve except that the military 

 reserve of 1 square mile at Camp Wright was added to the Indian reserva- 

 tion by Executive order of July 26, 1876. (See Executive orders of Apr. 8, 

 1873, and Mar. 30, 1870.)
