FEBRUARY 3, 1806.
_To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States_:
In the course of the last year the following treaties and conventions
for the extinguishment of Indian title to lands within our limits were
entered into on behalf of the United States:
A treaty between the United States and the Wyandot, Ottawa, Chippeway,
Munsee and Delaware, Shawanee and Pottawatamy nations of Indians.
A treaty between the United States and the agents of the Connecticut
Land Company on one part and the Wyandot and Ottawa, Chippeway, Munsey
and Delaware, Shawanee and Pottawatamy nations of Indians.
A treaty between the United States and the Delawares, Pottawatamies,
Miamis, Eel-rivers, and Weas.
A treaty between the United States and the Chickasaw Nation of Indians.
Two treaties between the United States and the Cherokee Indians.
A convention between the United States and the Creek Nation of Indians.
The Senate having advised and consented to the ratification of these
several treaties and conventions, I now lay them before both Houses of
Congress for the exercise of their constitutional powers as to the means
of fulfilling them.
