Answer:

the territory the tribes were giving to the US government.

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose of this article is the identification of the territory that the tribes were giving to the united states government.

In the point no point treaty, the tribes were ceding their ownership of lands to the government and in exchange they received $60,000 and small reservations.

The tribes involved in this treaty were the S'Klallam, the Chimakum, and the Skokomish tribes.
