Abstract
"The area ceded by the Indians is described in the nine treaties covered a very large portion of the two territories. That area however does not coincide with the area which today still remains subject to the rights established in favor of the Indians by the fishing clause in their treaties. There are two reasons for this; first, some of the tribes have been held to have lost their treaty rights, as for example the Nez Perce and the Tribes of Middle Oregon and second, some of the tribes belonging to the western group and known as the fish eating Indians either were not parties to a ratified treaty containing the fishing clause reservation, as for example the Chinooks, Chehalis and Cowlitz, or else had failed to comply with the several other provisions of their treaties with regard to removal to reservations to be established for them, etc."
