The [[Western Lakes Confederacy]] was a loose confederacy of tribes around the [[Great Lakes region]], organized following the American Revolutionary War to resist the expansion of the United States into the [[Northwest Territory]]. Members of the confederacy were ultimately removed to the present-day Oklahoma, including the [[Shawnee]], [[Delaware people|Delaware]], also called [[Lenape]], [[Miami people|Miami]], and [[Kickapoo people|Kickapoo]].

The area of [[Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma]] was used to resettle the [[Iowa people|Iowa]], [[Sac and Fox]], [[Absentee Shawnee]], [[Potawatomi]], and [[Kickapoo people|Kickapoo]] tribes.

The [[Council of Three Fires]] is an alliance of the [[Ojibwe]], [[Odawa people|Odawa]], and [[Potawatomi]] tribes. In the [[Second Treaty of Prairie du Chien]] in 1829, the tribes of the Council of Three Fires ceded to the United States their lands in [[Illinois]], [[Michigan]], and [[Wisconsin]]. The 1833 Treaty of Chicago forced the members of the Council of Three Fires to move first to present-day [[Iowa]], then [[Kansas]] and [[Nebraska]] and ultimately to [[Oklahoma]].<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.kansasheritage.org/PBP/books/treaties/t_1833.html| title=1833 Treaty with the Chippewa, etc.| access-date=2012-02-29}}</ref>

The Illinois Potawatomi moved to present-day Nebraska and the Indiana Potawatomi moved to present-day [[Osawatomie, Kansas]], an event known as the [[Potawatomi Trail of Death]]. The group settling in Nebraska adapted to the Plains Indian culture but the group settling in Kansas remained steadfast to their [[woodlands culture]]. In 1867, part of the Kansas group negotiated the "Treaty of Washington with the Potawatomi" in which the Kansas [[Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation]] split and part of their land in Kansas was sold, purchasing land near present-day [[Shawnee, Oklahoma]], they became the [[Citizen Potawatomi Nation]].<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.kansasheritage.org/pbp/books/treaties/t_1867.html| title=Treaty of Washington with the Potawatomi 1867| access-date=2012-02-29| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120324172145/http://www.kansasheritage.org/PBP/books/treaties/t_1867.html| archive-date=2012-03-24| url-status=dead}}</ref>

The Odawa tribe first purchased lands near [[Ottawa, Kansas]], residing there until 1867 when they sold their lands in Kansas and purchased land in an area administered by the [[Quapaw Indian Agency]] in [[Ottawa County, Oklahoma]], becoming the [[Ottawa Tribe of Oklahoma]].

The [[Peoria tribe]], native to [[Southern Illinois]], moved south to [[Missouri]] then and [[Kansas]], where they joined the [[Piankashaw]], [[Kaskaskia]], and [[Wea]] tribes. Under stipulations of the Omnibus Treaty of 1867, these confederated tribes and the [[Miami tribe]] left Kansas for Indian Territory on lands purchased from the [[Quapaw]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Roberson|first1=Glen|title=Peoria|url=http://www.okhistory.org/publications/enc/entry.php?entry=PE013|website=The Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture|access-date=21 December 2017|date=2009}}</ref>

====Iroquois Confederacy====
{{main|Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma}}
The [[Iroquois Confederacy]] was an alliance of tribes, originally from the [[Upstate New York]] area consisting of the [[Seneca tribe|Seneca]], [[Cayuga tribe|Cayuga]], [[Onondaga people|Onondaga]], [[Oneida tribe|Oneida]], [[Mohawk nation|Mohawk]], and, later, [[Tuscarora people|Tuscarora]]. In the pre-[[American Revolutionary War|Revolutionary War]] era, their confederacy expanded to areas from [[Kentucky]] and [[Virginia]] north. All of the members of the Confederacy, except the Oneida and Tuscarora, allied with the [[Kingdom of Great Britain|British]] during the Revolutionary War, and were forced to cede their land after the war. Most moved to [[Canada]] after the [[Treaty of Canandaigua]] in 1794, though some remained in [[New York (state)|New York state]] and some moved to [[Ohio]], where they joined the Shawnee.

The 1838 and 1842 [[Treaties of Buffalo Creek]] were treaties with New York Indians, such as the Seneca, Mohawk, Cayuga, and [[Oneida Indian Nation]], which covered land sales of tribal reservations under the U.S. Indian removal program, under which they planned to move most eastern tribes to Indian Territory. Initially, the tribes were moved to the present state of [[History of Kansas#1820s–1840s: Indian territory|Kansas]], and later to [[Oklahoma]] on land administered by the Quapaw Indian Agency.
