    The footnote about “totally removed” is a little odd because I think some/many of these states has state recognized tribes.

    Which I think mostly means either the tribes just refused to ever sign a treaty with the federal government, or just kind of reassembled after the bulk of their tribe was driven off the original land.

    Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia, for example, all have state recognized tribes.

      In Georgia, it was the opposite: the Muscogee — or at least, an asshole tribal leader purporting to represent them — did sign a treaty. He got almost immediately executed for selling out his people and the legitimate leaders sent a delegation to DC to repudiate it, but it was too late and the tribe eventually lost all its land anyway.
