Menominee's reserve is placed — two townships south, in Ranges 1 and 2 East — and the 1827 treaty is read whole and takes nothing here. The reserving instrument, the Treaty of Tippecanoe of 26 October 1832, reserves by acreage alone: "For the bands of Men-o-mi-nee, No-taw-kah, Muck-kah-tah-mo-way and Pee-pin-oh-waw, twenty-two sections." Royce's own Indiana paper — Cessions of Land by Indian Tribes to the United States: Illustrated by Those in the State of Indiana (1881), No. 42, read whole — pins the ground at its cession of 5 August 1836: the twenty-two sections reserved by the 1832 treaty stand "in township 33 north, ranges 1 and 2 east," 14,080 acres embracing Pretty Lake, Twin Lakes and a considerable portion of the Yellow River southwest of Plymouth on the local-history placement, which agrees. The measurement is derived from that placement with its method stated: the townsite stands in the southern row of T36N, roughly a mile north of its south line; the reserve's township's north line is twelve miles south of it — about thirteen miles from the town point to the reserve's nearest possible edge, if it reaches that line, and fifteen to sixteen miles to its centre, south to south-southwest, the Range 1 East portion pulling the tract west of the townsite's range. That grounds, and replaces, the framing pass's approximate "15–16 mi SSW": G-LD-10 closes at township/range strength, its residue the reserve's exact section lines from the GLO plats of T33N R1–2E, printed as approximate until those plats are read. Royce's own caveat prints with the entry: Menominee's band "does not seem to be mentioned in the treaty of cession" of 1836, the cession having been taken from the other three bands — a quirk of the removal record that does not touch the location. The 1827 item closes beside it. The Treaty of St. Joseph of 19 September 1827, read whole in Kappler's text, cedes only formerly reserved Michigan tracts — on the River Rouge, the River Raisin, at Prairie Ronde, and at the head of the Kalamazoo — and lays its new consolidated reservation entirely in Michigan Territory, T4–5S of the Michigan Meridian; no tract is in Indiana and none touches this ground, so the land section's line — that the treaty enters this ground only by reference in later instruments — stands correct and now text-verified. Its citation is corrected on three agreeing carriers: the treaty is 7 Stat. 305, proclaimed 23 February 1829; the "327" carried in this build's gap register was a transcription error, and no banked fragment prints it.
