Indian Affairs, Laws & Treaties, Vol. 2 As the United States expanded westward from the
original thirteen colonies, settlers often confronted the existing owners
of the land. As a result the federal government often negotiated treaties
with these Native Americans. This collection of official treaties was
compiled by the United States and originally printed in 1904. It contains
the full text of nearly a hundred treaties between the government and such
tribes as the Delaware, Seneca, Yakima, and Sioux. Ranging from the late
1700's through the end of the 19th Century, each treaty includes the names
of those present, both U.S. representatives and Native American tribal
chiefs. Apart from the historical importance of these documents, for those
seeking ancestors who were involved in treaty negotiations, this can be an
illuminating database. (Subscribers Only)Free Trial - Ancestry.com US Deluxe Membership
