In the record
Royce’s schedule records 12 cessions that lie at least partly in Idaho, from 1855 to 1894, under 5 treaties, agreements and acts. The peoples named most often are Shoshone (Shoshoni), Bannock, Coeur d'Alene Tribe (Schitsu'umsh), Nez Perce (Nimiipuu) and Séliš (Bitterroot Salish).
The atlas records 3 broken treaty promises here, including Box Elder (Fort Bridger) 1863: no recognized title, no compensation (Northwestern Shoshone), Nez Perce: the 1855 reservation, the 1863 'thief treaty,' and 1877 and Western Shoshone: Treaty of Ruby Valley (1863) and the ICC payment the Nation refuses.

Everything here is linked at state level only. The atlas does not look up addresses or parcels, and a cession touching a state does not tell you whose land a particular place is.
