these limits not hereinafter reserved.-This cession overlaps the Chippewa cession by treaty of Sept. 24, 1819. From the foregoing cession said tribes reserve for their own use, to be held in common, the following tracts for the term of five years and no longer except by permission of the U. S.:

One tract of 50,000 acres to be located on Little Traverse bay. The general note below applies to this reserve. One tract of 20,000 acres to be located on the N. shore of Grand Traverse bay.-Surveyed in 1840. It comprised fractional Tps. 28, 29, and 30 N., R. 10 W., and continued to be occupied as an Indian reservation until the reserves contemplated by treaty of July 31, 1855, were designated.

One tract of 70,000 acres to be located on or N. of the Pieire Marquetta river. Surveyed in 1840 on Manistee river and occupied as a reservation until 1848, when it was sold.

One tract of 1,000 acres to be located by Chingassanoo or the Big Sail, on the Cheboigan.

One tract of 1,000 acres to be located by Mujeekewis, on Thunder Bay river.

GENERAL NOTE.-After the selection by Mr. Schoolcraft of the 20,000 and 70,000 acre reserves under this treaty, he was advised that the U. S. might conclude to allow the Indians to remain on the other reserves after the expiration of the five years. He was therefore instructed, Nov. 5, 1840, that the boundaries of all the reserves under this treaty ought to be marked. Aug. 23, 1844, the Indian office advised the General Land Office that these reserves ought not to be surveyed as public lands, the Indians having been tacitly allowed to remain thereon since the treaty. In 1845 the assent of the Indians was obtained for the extension of the public surveys over these reserves, but no definite boundaries were marked out for them. As late as June 7, 1850, the Indian Office notified the General Land Office that the Indians still occupied these tracts and the latter must not be offered for sale as public lands. This state of affairs, in fact, continued until other provision was made by the treaty of 1855.

One tract of 1 sections near Salt creek of said lake.This tract really contained only 534 acres. remarks under treaty of Nov. 17, 1807.

One tract of one-fourth of a section at the mouth of the river Au Vaseau, contiguous to the preceding cession. This tract really contained 262.7 acres. See remarks under treaty of Nov. 17, 1807.

One tract of 2 sections near the mouth of Black river, of the River St. Clair.-This tract really contained only 1,200 acres. See remarks under treaty of Nov. 17, 1807.

1837, Jan. 14-Detroit, Michigan-Saginaw tribe of the Chippewa nation (Stat. at Large, VII, 528).

The said tribe cede to the U. S. the following tracts of land lying within the boundaries of Michigan, viz:

One tract of 8,000 acres on the river Au Sable.-When the public surveys were extended over this region, there were no Indians living on this tract, and, the surveyors having no one to point out to them the desired limits of the reserve, it was never surveyed as an Indian reserve.

One tract of 2,000 acres on the Misho-wusk or Rifle river
The Indians reserved a right of residence on this tract
for five years.

One tract of 6,000 acres on the N. side of the river
Kawkawling.

One tract of 5,760 acres upon Flint river, including the
site of Reaum's village and a place called Kishkaw-
bawee.

One tract of 8,000 acres on the head of the Cass (formerly
Huron) river, at the village of Otusson.

One island in the Saginaw bay, estimated at 1,000 acres,
being the island called Shaingwaukokaug, on which
Mukokoosh formerly lived.

One tract of 2,000 acres at Nababish on the Saganaw river. One tract of 1,000 acres on the E. side of the Saganaw river.

One tract of 640 acres at Great Bend on Cass river.

One tract of 2,000 acres at the mouth of Point Augrais river. The Indians reserved a right of residence on this tract for five years.

One tract of 1,000 acres on the Cass river at Menoquet's village.

One tract of 10,000 acres on the Shiawassee river at
Ketchewaundaugumink or Big Lick.-See note con-
cerning this tract under treaty of Sept. 24, 1819. An
error was made in copying the treaty whereby this
reserve became confused with the one at Big Rock.
The intention was to cede both the 3,000 acre tract
at Ketchewaundaugumink or Big Lick and the
10,000 acre tract at Big Rock. The language of the
treaty cedes "10,000 acres on Shiawassee river, at
Ketchewaundaugumink or Big Lick." To correct this
error a supplemental article to the treaty was con-
cluded Oct. 27, 1841.

One tract of 6,000 acres at the Little Forks on the
Tetabwasing river.

One tract of 6,000 acres at the Black Bird's town on the
Tetabwasing river.

One tract of 40,000 acres on the W. side of the Saganaw
river.

One tract of 10,000 acres at Big Rock on Shiawassee river. See note concerning this tract given in No. 12 or 3,000 acre reserve at Ketchewaundaugumink or Big Lick.

The said Indians shall have the right of living upon the tracts at the river Augrais and Musho-wusk or Rifle rivers on the W. side of Saganaw bay, for the term of five years, during which time no white man shall be allowed to settle on said tracts under a penalty of $500. The said tribe agrees to remove from the state of Michigan as soon as a proper location can be obtained, either W. of lake Superior or at such place W. of the Mississippi and S. W. of the Missouri river as the legislation of Congress may indicate. By treaty of Dec. 20, 1837, a reserve was promised this tribe on Osage river, but they declined to remove thereto, and no tract was therefore surveyed for them.

The U. S. agree to pay to said tribe as one of the parties to the treaty of Nov. 17, 1807, the sum of $1,000 to quiet their claim to two reservations of land of 2 sections each, lying in Oakland County, Mich., which were ceded to the U. S. by the Pottowattomies of St. Joseph's on Sept. 19, 1827. See treaty of Sept. 19, 1827.
