In the record
The United States made one treaty or agreement that names Confederated Tribes of Middle Oregon as a party: Confederated Tribes of Middle Oregon at Warm Springs Agency, Oregon (1865).
C. C. Royce’s 1899 schedule records 2 cessions of land from Confederated Tribes of Middle Oregon: about 10 million acres by this atlas’s estimate, counting overlaps once. 2 of them came through treaties and agreements. The largest was Land of the Confederated Tribes of middle Oregon in Oregon, ceded 1855 (area 369), about 10 million acres, ceded under Treaty with the Tribes of Middle Oregon (Warm Springs), 1855.
Today, Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon carries this history, as their own pages or research records say.
