Article 4 defines the boundaries of the Creek nation as follows:

LAND CESSIONS-Continued.

Historical data and remarks

These lands were within the state of New York and were ceded by the Indians from time to time under treaties made with the authorities of that state. They do not come within the scope of this work.

The boundaries of these tracts have not been ascertained.

The boundary of the territory ceded by the Cherokee under this treaty was not determined until 1797, when it was fixed by Hawkins and Pickens, as shown in accompanying map. For history see 5th Annual Report of Bureau of Ethnology, pp. 158-169.

The Oneida have since sold their lands to the state of New York and live prin-
cipally with the Onondaga and Seneka.

Prior to 1793 the Onondaga reserve contained over 100 square miles. By treaty
of Mar. 11, 1793, with the state of New York they sold over three-fourths of it.
By treaty of July 28, 1795, with New York they sold a portion of the remain-
der. By treaty of Feb. 25, 1817, with New York they sold 4,320 acres more.
Feb. 11, 1822, they sold New York 800 acres. They still retain 6,100 acres.
The Cayuga, by treaty of Feb. 25, 1789, with New York sold all their country
except 100 square miles on Cayuga lake, a few acres on Seneca river, and 1
mile square at Cayuga ferry. July 27, 1795, they sold to New York all but 3
square miles. May 18, 1803, they sold to New York all their remaining lands.
The boundaries of the original Cayuga and Onondaga reserves are shown on
the map of New York and are colored green.

The boundaries thus established amounted to a retrocession to the Seneka of
a portion of the territory ceded by the Six Nations to the U. S. by treaties
of Oct. 22, 1784, and Jan. 9, 1789. The boundaries of the Seneka as herein
established are indicated on the map of New York by crimson lines.

Location

This was intended to be a reiteration of the relinquishment made by treaty of 1784 to all lands W. of Ohio river.

The tract herein ceded comprised the eastern and southern portions of Ohio, embracing nearly two-thirds of the state, and a triangular piece in southeastern Indiana.

Surveyed in 1805 .....
Surveyed in June, 1803..

Surveyed in June, 1803..

This tract was never surveyed, and by treaty of Sept. 30, 1809, with the Dela-
wares and others it was retroceded by the U. S. to the Indians. Its bounda-
ries are approximately shown on the map by scarlet lines.
Surveyed in Dec., 1805, by virtue of act of Congress of Mar. 3, 1805; subdivided
and sold in accordance with act of Congress of Apr. 27, 1816.
Surveyed in 1806 by Ewing under act of Congress of Mar. 3, 1805..

Found to be within limits of Connecticut Western reserve and therefore never
separately surveyed. The location of this tract is approximately shown on
the map by dotted black lines.

Surveyed by Ewing in 1807 under act of Congress of Mar. 3, 1805; subdivided
into town lots and sold under act of Congress approved Apr. 27, 1816.
The necessity for the establishment of the boundaries of this tract was super-
seded by the conclusion of the treaty of Nov. 17, 1807, whereby the Indians
ceded to the U. S. a large extent of territory surrounding and including within
its general limits the tract described. The approximate limits of this tract
are, however, shown on the map by a dotted black line.
