Seminole Nation of Oklahoma — lands ceded, 1823–1866

Lands ceded to the United States by treaty, law or executive order, 1823–1866, as Charles C. Royce recorded them in 1899 — 34,410 km² in 4 cessions across Florida, Oklahoma.

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.
