In the record
The atlas records 1 broken treaty promise involving Plains Apache (Kiowa-Apache): Medicine Lodge (1867) and Lone Wolf v. Hitchcock (1903): allotment without the promised three-fourths consent. One court case turned on its rights: Lone Wolf v. Hitchcock.
The records group it with Apache. Today, Apache Tribe of Oklahoma carries 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.
The record over time
