In the record
The United States made 9 treaties and agreements that name Piankashaw as a party, from Treaty of Greenville, 1795 to Seneca; Mixed Seneca and Shawnee; Quapaw; Confederated Peoria, Kaskaskia, Wea, and Piankashaw; Miami; Ottawa; and Wyandot at Washington, DC (1867).
The atlas records 1 broken treaty promise involving Piankashaw: Greenville 1795 and Fort Wayne 1809: encroachment, then cession under pressure. One court case turned on its rights: Johnson v. M'Intosh.
Today, Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma carries this history, as their own pages or research records say.
