Charles Kappler (1904). "INDIAN AFFAIRS: LAWS AND TREATIES Vol. II, Treaties". Government Printing Office. Diarsipkan dari versi asli tanggal 2012-11-03. Diakses tanggal January 29, 2013.Note: Article 8 in the 1817 treaty as quoted, is mostly about certain land use rights (East of the Mississippi [river]), which might be retained by certain "Indians" if they met certain conditions -- namely, if they [quote] "wish to become citizens of the United States". However, in so doing, Article 8 implies that such "Indians" (living East of the Mississippi [river]) who "wish to become citizens of the United States", could (would be allowed to) become citizens of the United States. It seems to (be worded so as to) anticipate a future (after 1817) in which lands West of the Mississippi [river] would remain (territories of, or) outside the boundaries of, the United States.
