Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska
Lands ceded to the United States by treaty, law or executive order, 1827–1865, as Charles C. Royce recorded them in 1899 — 51,602 km² in 11 cessions across Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota, 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.
