The treaty did not state that the Shoshone were to cede their lands. In a continuing dispute with the federal government over uses and management of much of these lands under various federal agencies, the tribes in the 20th century took their land claims to the Indian Claims Commission from the time it was established in 1946 until it was dissolved in 1978. As the treaty had not required the Western Shoshone to cede defined lands, their claims were complex. After the Claims Commission was dissolved, the Western Shoshone took their outstanding issues to federal courts.
