Indian Land Cessions in the United States, 1784 to 1894
Date: October 17, 1865
Where or how concluded: Camp on Little Arkansas river, Kansas.
Reference: Statutes at Large, Volume XIV, page 713.
Tribe: Apache Cheyenne, and Arapaho.
Description of cession or reservation: The Apaches assent to the Cheyenne and Arapaho treaty of Oct. 14, 1865, and agree to occupy the same reserve with them.
Historical data and remarks: These Apache consisted of but a small fraction of the eastern bands of that tribe. By this treaty they relinquished their interest in the Apache country, but this did not involve the interest of the remainder of the tribe. The territory claimed by the eastern bands of Apache comprised portions of Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and the "Public Land Strip" (in Oklahoma) and overlapped a portion of the country claimed by the Kiowa and Comanche and ceded by them by treaties of Oct. 18, 1865, and Oct. 21, 1867. The original claim of the eastern Apache is shown in part on New Mexico map 1 and is fully shown on the special map of Texas (No. 688).
