to a treaty by the terms of which they
coded all of the lands in Oklahoma and
Texas between the Arkansas and Can
adian rivers on the north and the Red
river on the south to the government.
The fact that the Quapaw Indians
lived il eastern Arkansas, that they
seldom went as far west as the eastern
boundary of Oklahoma and that they
never by occupancy or otherwise eXer-
cised any form of ownership or juris-
diction over any of the lands within
200 miles of the region where the
Wichitas were living, do not seem 10
have entered into the consideration
ut all, if. indeed, the government COM
missioners had any knowledge of the
existence Of the Wichitas at that time.
Yet, with this Quapaw transaction as
Il basis. the government of the United
States executed a giant of these lands
to the people later. More than thirty
years later the Wichita people first
learned that their country had been
sold by the Quapaw and then granted
to the Choctaws.
If the government of the United
States ever means to do the square
and honorable thing by the Wichita
Indians it will never have a better
chance than il has M the present time.
Their lands are gone-Sold to strang-
