Historical data and remarks: No treaty of purchase was ever made with these Indians. Their original claim is here shown on Arizona map No. 1. By Executive order of Dec. 16, 1882, the President set apart a reserve for them, which is shown on Arizona map No. 2.
No treaty of purchase was ever made with this tribe. The U. S. assumed title to their country, the boundary of which is here shown on Arizona map No. 1, and afterwards set apart a reserve for them by Executive order of Jan. 4, 1883, which is shown on Arizona map No. 2 (641)
No treaty of purchase was ever made with this tribe. The U. S. assumed title to their country, the boundaries of which are here shown on Arizona map No. 1. Most of them have been concentrated on a reserve known as Colorado River reservation, shown on Arizona map No. 2.

No treaty of purchase was ever made with these tribes, who have a common origin. The U. S. took possession of their country, the boundaries of which are shown on Arizona map No. 1. Reservations were, however, assigned them, upon which they were concentrated, known as the Papago, Gila River, Gila Bend, and Salt River reserves, all of which are shown on Arizona map No. 2.
The Apache alluded to here as Eastern bands comprised the bulk of the Jicarilla and Mescalero Apache. Their country lay to the eastward of the Rio Grande river, extending into Colorado and Texas, where it overlapped the Kiowa and Comanche claim. A few of them concluded a treaty Oct. 17, 1865, by which they agreed, to confederate with the Cheyenne and Arapaho upon a reserve assigned the latter in Indian Territory. Subsequently, by treaty of Oct. 21, 1867, they were confederated with the Kiowa and Comanche upon a reserve assigned the latter tribes in Indian Territory. Those so confederated relinquished their claim to ancestral territory, but they were few in number. No other treaty of purchase was made with these Apache, but those not confederated with the Kiowa and Comanche have been assigned reservations from time to time, all of which are shown on New Mexico map No. 2. The original domain of the Eastern Apache is here partially shown on New Mexico map No. 1, and is fully delineated on special Texas map.
The Apache here alluded to as Western bands comprise all those bands whose ancestral territory lay to the W. of the Rio Grande river, the most important of these bands being the Tonto, Mimbre, Mogollon, Coyotero, Pinal, and a few of the Mescalero and Jicarilla. No treaty of purchase was made with them. The U. S. took possession of their country, assigning them from time to time sundry reservations, the boundaries of which are shown on Arizona and New Mexico maps No. 2. Their original domain is here shown on Arizona and New Mexico maps No. 1.
These Indians are mostly Fox, and belong properly to the Sauk and Fox of the Mississippi. They formerly resided with their brethren on the tribal reserve in Kansas, but becoming dissatisfied with the allotment of lands on that reserve, they returned to Iowa. Since 1867 they have been paid their pro rata share of the tribal annuities, with which they have purchased from time to time the lands here indicated, amounting in the aggregate to about 1,500 acres.
