The reserves the Treaty of Tippecanoe left standing on 26 October 1832 were bought back one band at a time, in a run of small treaties that runs from December 1834 to August 1836 — and the sequence can now be printed whole. The banked reserve test (Tribes) named the reserves and dated three of their cessions. Read in Kappler, Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties, vol. II, against the Statutes at Large, the full course for every reserve created by the second article of the 26 October 1832 treaty (7 Stat. 394) is this. 4 December 1834 — at a camp on Lake Max-ee-nie-kue-kee, Commissioner William Marshall concluded the cession of Com-o-za's two sections: four hundred dollars in goods at signing and a four-hundred-dollar annuity for one year (7 Stat. 467; proclaimed 16 March 1835). 10 December 1834 — at a camp on Tippecanoe River, Marshall concluded the cession of the six sections reserved to Mau-ke-kose, whose name the instrument's signature block renders Muck Rose and Muck-kose — the same man under the period's spelling, the treaty itself tying the six sections expressly to the second article of 26 October 1832 (7 Stat. 467; proclaimed 16 March 1835). 11 April 1836 — at a camp on Tippecanoe River, Commissioner Abel C. Pepper concluded the cession of Aub-ba-naub-bee's thirty-six sections, the largest reserve of the cession, signed not by the old chief but by Pau-koo-shuck, his oldest son, and the band's head men, for twenty-three thousand dollars, the band to remove west of the Mississippi within two years (7 Stat. 499; proclaimed 25 May 1836). 22 April 1836 — at the Indian Agency, Pepper concluded two instruments on one day that between them close four of the remaining reserves. The first (7 Stat. 500) cedes ten sections reserved by the 1832 treaty, and its signers are the key to its arithmetic: O-kah-mause, Kee-waw-nay and Nee-boash — the heads of the eight-section O-kaw-wause, Kee-waw-nay and Nee-bosh group — sign together with Ma-che-saw, whose band held two sections; eight and two make the ten sections ceded, for six thousand four hundred dollars, removal within two years. The second instrument of the same day (7 Stat. 501) cedes three sections: Nas-waw-kee and Quash-quaw sign as chiefs and head men — the three-section reserve of 1832, which the banked files carry under the spellings Nees-waugh-gee and Quash-qua; the name-forms differ between the instruments and both are printed here as they stand, the section count and the Quash-quaw signature being what identifies the reserve — for nineteen hundred and twenty dollars, possession and removal within two years. 5 August 1836 — at a camp near Yellow River, Pepper concluded the cession of the twenty-two sections of the Menominee group — Men-o-mi-nee, No-taw-kah, Muck-kah-tah-mo-way and Pee-pin-oh-waw — for fourteen thousand and eighty dollars in specie, removal within two years (7 Stat. 505; proclaimed 18 February 1837). What remains unsequenced after this run is a single section: the one section reserved to J. B. Shadernah in Door Prairie, La Porte County. No separate cession treaty for Shadernah's section appears in the Kappler vol. II sequence searched for this item — his was an individual reserve of the kind that ordinarily passed not by a band treaty but by individual conveyance and federal patent, and its extinguishment, if the record holds it, lies in the La Porte County deed record and the General Land Office patent for that section, which are named here as its settlers. The group reserves — eighty sections in all — are sequenced entire: December 1834, December 1834, April 1836, April 1836, April 1836, August 1836.
