In the record
The United States made one treaty or agreement that names Assiniboine (Nakoda) as a party: Treaty of Fort Laramie (Horse Creek), 1851.
The atlas records 1 broken treaty promise involving Assiniboine (Nakoda): Fort Laramie 1851: Pike's Peak gold rush invades treaty territory. 2 court cases turned on their rights: Winters v. United States and United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians.
The records group it with Oceti Sakowin (Great Sioux Nation) and Sioux (as named in treaty records). Today, Fort Belknap Indian Community of the Fort Belknap Reservation of Montana and Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, Montana carry this history, as their own pages or research records say.
Written from the records linked here; open any of them for its sources. This is what the United States’ treaty record says, not the nation’s own account.
