Shoalwater Bay Tribe of the Shoalwater Bay Indian Reservation, Washington

Lands ceded to the United States by treaty, law or executive order, 1864, as Charles C. Royce recorded them in 1899 — 19,723 km² in 2 cessions across Washington.

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.
