f we've done our jobs correctly, these additional resources are going to take you even further into the study of the treaty process. For instance:

Maps: Treaty agreements are always based on some geological boundary. In the case of the Treaties of 1855-1856, the boundaries are several - the boundaries of the United States, the boundaries of the Washington Territory, the boundaries of the pre-treaty Indian lands, and the boundaries of the post-treaty reservations. Take a look at the maps we have digitized. Zoom in on the details, read the text that was written on them 150 years ago. There's a lot to be learned from maps!
