Project Homeland › Nations

Coeur D'Alene Tribe, Idaho

Lands ceded to the United States by treaty, law or executive order, 1867–1873, as Charles C. Royce recorded them in 1899 — 27,108 km² in 2 cessions across Idaho.

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.

Named in the treaties as: Coeur d'Alène

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