This shows the reservations of Indians in Oklahoma in 1887. It includes Indian Nations that continue to live here, but also the Nez Perce, who were forcibly relocated to Oklahoma in 1878 as prisoners of war. The map shows a reservation that no longer exists. They left Oklahoma in 1885; the existing Nez Perce reservation is in Idaho.
