The test
Potawatomi: positive, on both layers. The tribal layer is the cession of 1826 that took the townsite, plotted in the land section; the individual layer is the scholar grants of the same treaty's schedule, fifty-eight quarter-sections selected across the La Porte and St. Joseph country in 1829, nine of them — the Bourissa family and their schoolfellows — in the townsite's own township of survey. Miami (Myaamia): tested, and not on this ground in the record read. The one 1826 tract that runs through the Miami country is the treaty's first tract, the Wabash polygon of Royce Area 132, far east and south of Olive Township; no Miami cession, reserve, or village touches this ground in any instrument or catalogue read, and no Miami title to this ground is asserted. Ottawa and Chippewa: parties with the Potawatomi as the United Nation to the treaties of 1821 and 1833, but no separate presence on this ground stands in the record read. The treaties as they touch this ground are therefore one: the Treaty of 16 October 1826, whose second tract took the townsite and whose schedule granted its first private title — both plotted instrument by instrument in the land section, and not repeated here.
