in Indian Territory after the treaties of 1866. Tract 1 is what 
remained of the original three cessions shown on Plate IX; 
Tract 2 represents the territory in the possession of the United 
States for the purpose of settling Indians and freedmen there¬ 
on; and Tract 3 is the Cherokee Outlet, the disposal of which 
was in the control of the United States. 
To take up the disposal of the two latter 1 areas by the United 
States: Tract 1, Plate XII, was sold to the Seminoles by the 
same treaty of 1866 by which they gave up their entire do¬ 
main. The rest of their present territory was purchased from 
the Creeks in 1882. 1 By the treaty of 1867 (15 Stats., 496), 
Tract 2, Plate XII, was given to the Sacs and Foxes, 2 and by 
another treaty in the same year (15 Stats., 581), Tract 3 was 
ceded to the Kiowas, Comanches and Apaches. 3 The Chey¬ 
ennes and Arapahoes were located on Tracts 4 and 8 by execu¬ 
tive order in 1869. 4 The first disposition of Cherokee land 
was made by an order of the Secretary of the Interior in 1871 
locating the Usages on Tracts 5 and 6. An act of Congress of 
the next year (17 Stats., 228) gave the Usages Tract 5 
and the Kansas Indians Tract 6. 5 The Pottawatomies and 
Absentee Shawnees were located on Tract 7 by act of Congress 
in 1872 (17 Stats., 159), 6 and in the same year the Wichitas 
were located on Tract 8, an agreement to 1 that effect being 
made with the Cheyennes and Arapahoes, but this, was never 
ratified by Congress. 7 In 1876 the Pawnee Indians were lo¬ 
cated by act of Congress (19 Stats., 28) on Tract 9, partly 
within the Cherokee Cutlet and partly in the Creek cession. 8 
Then Tracts 10 and 11 were given to the Xez Perces and Pon¬ 
cas respectively by acts of Congress in 1878 (20 Stats., 74, 76) 
and Tract 12 to the Utoes and Missouri as in 1881 (21 Stats.,
