INDIAN TERRITORY, 1879 C. Roser General Land Office, Department of the Interior As Indian tribes were relocated to Oklahoma during the 19th century, the United States government used maps to amend earlier treaties and agreements which had been based on incorrect and misleading surveys and maps. This official map was drawn to support a Congressional act redistributing land among the Creek, Seminole, and Sac and Fox nations. The present day Panhandle was not part of the territory but was public or "no man's" land. Cuando las tribus indígenas fueron transladadas al estado de Oklahoma en el siglo XIX, el gobierno de los Estados Unidos usó mapas para enmendar tratados y acuerdos anteriores que habían estado basados en encuestas y mapas erróneos. Este mapa oficial fue trazado para apoyar un decreto del congreso que redistribuía tierra entre las naciones indígenas "Creek", "Seminole", "Sac y Fox". La actual zona del "Panhandle" no era parte del territorio indígena sino tierra pública que no era propiedad de nadie. |
