Project Homeland › Nations

Caddo Nation of Oklahoma

Lands ceded to the United States by treaty, law or executive order, 1835, as Charles C. Royce recorded them in 1899 — 4,722 km² in 1 cession across Arkansas, Louisiana.

A cession records when the United States took title — not the full extent of a homeland, and much land was taken without any treaty. The link between each cession and present-day nations is the one the U.S. Forest Service and the National NAGPRA Program’s dataset records; the nation’s own account comes first.

No trail in Project Homeland crosses these lands yet. A map that shows one, traced in, would add it.
