In the record
Royce’s schedule records 28 cessions that lie at least partly in Nebraska, from 1825 to 1885, under 14 treaties, agreements and acts. The peoples named most often are Sioux (as named in treaty records), Omaha, Oto, Pawnee, Iowa and 10 more.
The atlas records 3 broken treaty promises here, including Fort Laramie 1851: Pike's Peak gold rush invades treaty territory, Ponca: 1858 treaty, the 1868 land error, 1877 removal and Standing Bear v. Crook (1879) and Claims that failed: Cheyenne River (Solem v. Bartlett, 1984) and Omaha (Nebraska v. Parker, 2016) were not diminished.

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.
