In the record
The United States made one treaty or agreement that names Florida Tribes (Moultrie Creek) as a party: Treaty of Moultrie Creek (Florida tribes), 1823.
C. C. Royce’s 1899 schedule records 2 cessions of land from Florida Tribes (Moultrie Creek): about 29 million acres by this atlas’s estimate, counting overlaps once. 2 of them came through treaties and agreements. The largest was Land of the Florida tribes in Florida, ceded 1823 (area 118), about 29 million acres, ceded under Treaty of Moultrie Creek (Florida tribes), 1823.
Today, Seminole Nation of Oklahoma and Seminole Tribe of Florida carry this history, as their own pages or research records say.
