All of the treaties signed by one or more members of the Potawatomi tribe are given. Graphics are taken from the pictographs by Mogawh and Noname found on the signature pages of the treaties of July 4, 1805 and November 17, 1807. Besides the published references given below, we have, in a number of cases, referenced the treaties themselves, as found on microfilm in the files of the National Archives.

Our thanks to Tom Ford, who did the research for this project.
