Tribal Lands Ceded to the United States (Feature Layer)

Sixty-seven maps from Indian Land Cessions in the United States, compiled by Charles C. Royce and published as the second part of the two-part Eighteenth Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, 1896-1897 have been scanned, georeferenced in JPEG2000 format, and digitized to create this feature class of cession maps. The mapped cessions and reservations included in the 67 maps correspond to entries in the Schedule of Indian Land Cessions, indicating the number and location of each cession by or reservation for the Indian tribes from the organization of the Federal Government to and including 1894, together with descriptions of the tracts so ceded or reserved, the date of the treaty, law or executive order governing the same, the name of the tribe or tribes affected thereby, and historical data and references bearing thereon, as set forth in the subtitle of the Schedule. Go to this URL for full metadata: https://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/edw_resources/meta/S_USA.TRIBALCEDEDLANDS.xml Each Royce map was georeferenced against one or more of the following USGS 1:2,000,000 National Atlas Feature Classes contained in \NatlAtlas_USGS.gdb: cities_2mm, hydro_ln_2mm, hydro_pl_2mm, plss_2mm, states_2mm. Cessions were digitized as a file geodatabase (GDB) polygon feature class, projected as NAD83 USA_Contiguous_Lambert_Conformal_Conic, which is the same projection used to georeference the maps. The feature class was later reprojected to WGS 1984 Web Mercator (auxiliary sphere) to optimize it for the Tribal Connections Map Viewer. Polygon boundaries were digitized as to not deviate from the drawn polygon edge to the extent that space could be seen between the digitized polygon and the mapped polygon at a viewable scale. Topology was maintained between coincident edges of adjacent polygons. The cession map number assigned by Royce was entered into the feature class as a field attribute. The Map Cession ID serves as the link referencing relationship classes and joining additional attribute information to 752 polygon features, to include the following: 1. Data transcribed from Royce's Schedule of Indian Land Cessions: a. Date(s), in the case of treaties, the date the treaty was signed, not the date of the proclamation; b. Tribe(s), the tribal name(s) used in the treaty and/or the Schedule; and c. Map Name(s), the name of the map(s) on which a cession number appears; 2. URLs for the corresponding entry in the Schedule of Indian Land Cessions (Internet Archive) for each unique combination of a Date and reference to a Map Cession ID (historical references in the Schedule are included); 3. URLs for the corresponding treaty text, including the treaties catalogued by Charles J. Kappler in Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties (HathiTrust Digital Library), executive order or other federal statute (Library of Congress and University of Georgia) identified in each entry with a reference to a Map Cession ID or IDs; 4. URLs for the image of the Royce map(s) (Library of Congress) on which a given cession number appears; 5. The name(s) of the Indian tribe or tribes related to each mapped cession, including the name as it appeared in the Schedule or the corresponding primary text, as well as the name of the present-day Indian tribe or tribes; and 6. The present-day states and counties included wholly or partially within a Map Cession boundary. During the 2017-2018 revision of the attribute data, it was noted that 7 of the Cession Map IDs are missing spatial representation in the Feature Class. The missing data is associated with the following Cession Map IDs: 47 (Illinois 1), 65 (Tennessee and Bordering States), 128 (Georgia), 129 (Georgia), 130 (Georgia), 543 (Indian Territory 3), and 690 (Iowa 2), which will be updated in the future. This dataset revises and expands the dataset published in 2015 by the U.S. Forest Service and made available through the Tribal Connections viewer, the Forest Service Geodata Clearinghouse, and Data.gov. The 2018 dataset is a result of collaboration between the Department of Agriculture, U.S. Forest Service, Office of Tribal Relations (OTR); the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, National NAGPRA Program; the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of International and Tribal Affairs, American Indian Environmental Office; and Dr. Claudio Saunt of the University of Georgia. The Forest Service and Dr. Saunt independently digitized and georeferenced the Royce cession maps and developed online map viewers to display Native American land cessions and reservations. Dr. Saunt subsequently undertook additional research to link Schedule entries, treaty texts, federal statutes and executive orders to cession and reservation polygons, which he agreed to share with the U.S. Forest Service. OTR revised the data, linking the Schedule entries, treaty texts, federal statues and executive orders to all 1,172 entries in the attribute table. The 2018 dataset has incorporated data made available by the National NAGPRA Program, specifically the Indian tribe or tribes related to each mapped cession, including the name as it appeared in the Schedule or the corresponding primary text and the name of the present-day Indian tribe or tribes, as well as the present-day states and counties included wholly or partially within a Map Cession boundary. This data replaces in its entirety the National NAGPRA data included in the dataset published in 2015. The 2015 dataset incorporated data presented in state tables compiled from the Schedule of Indian Land Cessions by the National NAGPRA Program. In recent years the National NAGPRA Program has been working to ensure the accuracy of this data, including the reevaluation of the present-day Indian tribes and the provision of references for their determinations. Changes made by the OTR have not been reviewed or approved by the National NAGPRA Program. The Forest Service will continue to collaborate with other federal agencies and work to improve the accuracy of the data included in this dataset. Errors identified since the dataset was published in 2015 have been corrected, and we request that you notify us of any additional errors we may have missed or that have been introduced.

六十七幅美国印第安土地割让地图，由查尔斯·C·罗伊斯编纂，作为美国民族学局向史密森尼博物院秘书提交的十八年度报告的第二部分，出版于1896-1897年。这些地图已扫描、以JPEG2000格式进行地理参照，并数字化，以创建这一割让地图特征类。所绘制的割让和保留地与《印第安土地割让日程表》中的条目相对应，指示从联邦政府成立至1894年及之前的每个割让或保留地所属印第安部落的数量和位置，以及割让或保留地的描述、相关条约、法律或行政命令的日期、受影响的部落名称，以及相关的历史数据和参考文献，如日程表的副标题所述。有关完整元数据，请访问此URL：https://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/edw_resources/meta/S_USA.TRIBALCEDEDLANDS.xml。每个罗伊斯地图均与以下美国地质调查局1:2,000,000国家地图集特征类之一或多个进行地理参照，包含在NatlAtlas_USGS.gdb中：cities_2mm、hydro_ln_2mm、hydro_pl_2mm、plss_2mm、states_2mm。割让地以文件地理数据库（GDB）多边形特征类进行数字化，投影为NAD83 USA_Contiguous_Lambert_Conformal_Conic，这是与地图地理参照相同的投影。该特征类后来重新投影到WGS 1984 Web Mercator（辅助球体），以优化其在部落联系地图查看器中的显示。多边形边界数字化时，尽量不偏离绘制的多边形边缘，以使在可查看的尺度上，数字化多边形与地图多边形之间有可见的空间。保持了相邻多边形重合边缘之间的拓扑关系。罗伊斯分配的割让地图编号作为字段属性输入到特征类中。地图割让ID作为链接引用关系类，将附加属性信息连接到752个多边形特征，包括以下内容：1. 从罗伊斯的印第安土地割让日程表中转录的数据：a. 在条约的情况下，指条约签署的日期，而非宣言的日期；b. 部落名称，在条约和/或日程表中使用的部落名称；c. 地图名称，割让编号出现在其上的地图名称；2. 对应于《印第安土地割让日程表》中每个唯一日期和地图割让ID引用的URL（日程表中的历史参考文献包括在内）；3. 对应条约文本的URL，包括查尔斯·J·卡普勒在《印第安事务：法律和条约》（HathiTrust数字图书馆）中编目的条约、每个条目中提到的行政命令或其他联邦法规（国会图书馆和乔治亚大学），以及与地图割让ID或ID的引用；4. 包含给定割让编号的罗伊斯地图图像的URL（国会图书馆）；5. 与每个地图割让相关的印第安部落名称，包括在日程表或相应的主要文本中出现的名称，以及当今的印第安部落名称；6. 完全或部分位于地图割让边界内的当今州和县名称。在2017-2018年修订属性数据期间，发现7个割让地图ID在特征类中缺少空间表示。缺少的数据与以下割让地图ID相关：47（伊利诺伊州1）、65（田纳西州及其周边州）、128（乔治亚州）、129（乔治亚州）、130（乔治亚州）、543（印第安领土3）和690（艾奥瓦州2），这些将在未来更新。该数据集修订并扩展了2015年由美国农业部发布并通过部落联系查看器、森林服务地理数据中心、Data.gov提供的数据集。2018年的数据集是农业部、美国森林服务、部落关系办公室（OTR）；内政部、国家公园管理局、国家NAGPRA项目；美国环境保护局、国际和部落事务办公室、美洲印第安人环境办公室；以及乔治亚大学的克劳迪奥·桑特博士之间合作的结果。森林服务与桑特博士独立数字化和地理参照罗伊斯割让地图，并开发了在线地图查看器以显示美洲原住民的土地割让和保留地。桑特博士随后进行了额外的研究，将日程表条目、条约文本、联邦法规和行政命令链接到割让和保留地多边形，他同意与美国森林服务共享这些信息。OTR修订了数据，将日程表条目、条约文本、联邦法规和行政命令链接到属性表中的所有1,172个条目。2018年的数据集纳入了国家NAGPRA项目提供的数据，具体包括与每个地图割让相关的印第安部落，包括在日程表或相应的主要文本中出现的名称，以及当今的印第安部落名称，以及完全或部分位于地图割让边界内的当今州和县。该数据完全替代了2015年数据集中包含的国家NAGPRA数据。2015年的数据集纳入了国家NAGPRA项目从《印第安土地割让日程表》中汇编的州表格中的数据。近年来，国家NAGPRA项目一直在努力确保数据的准确性，包括重新评估当今的印第安部落及其确定性的参考文献。OTR所做的更改尚未经国家NAGPRA项目审查或批准。森林服务将继续与其他联邦机构合作，努力提高数据集中的数据准确性。自数据集2015年发布以来，已识别的错误已得到纠正，我们请求您通知我们可能遗漏或引入的任何其他错误。有关数据集中的任何问题或疑虑，请联系美国森林服务部落关系办公室政策分析师丽贝卡·希尔，邮箱[e-mail]。本记录来自为https://data.gov目录提供数据的USDA企业数据清单。本记录的数据包括以下资源：ISO-19139元数据、ArcGIS Hub数据集、ArcGIS GeoService、CSV、Shapefile、GeoJSON。有关完整信息，请访问https://data.gov。
