Project Homeland › Nations

Stockbridge Munsee Community, Wisconsin

Lands ceded to the United States by treaty, law or executive order, 1805–1848, as Charles C. Royce recorded them in 1899 — 13,005 km² in 5 cessions across Kansas, Ohio, Wisconsin.

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: Chippewa · Delaware · Munsee · Ottawa · Potawatomi · Shawnee · Wyandot · Chippewa of Swan creek and Black River
