Which Indian tribe did not sign a peace treaty with the U.S. until 1975?

I think it may be the Nanticoke Tribe, but cannot confirm it. After doing a fair amount of research, I have been able to come up with the following, which I cannot gain access to. If you can, I think you will find the information you are looking for.

Excellent resource. This was found at: http://cobalt.lang.osaka-u.ac.jp/~krkvls/history.html The Arowak Tribe is another possible answer. Suriname was inhabited from about 3000 before Christ when the first Indians came to the country. The most important Indian tribe in Suriname was the Arowak tribe. The Indians lived from hunting and fishery. Most of them were nomads. Few stayed living at one place in order to live from agriculture. Over the years, treaties and people from other countries came and went. The people Suriname became an independent country on November 25, 1975.

No treaties were concluded between Canada and First Nations for half a century after the Williams treaties. However, treaty making resumed in 1973 in the form of comprehensive claims agreements - also known as modern treaties. These formal agreements are recognized as treaties by Section 35(3) of the Constitution Act, 1982 and are negotiated in order to provide a clear, certain and long-lasting definition of rights to land and resources for First Nations and Inuit people, in areas not already covered by existing treaties. The first modern-day treaty negotiated was the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement signed in 1975. Since 1975 fourteen comprehensive claims have been settled, seven of these in the Yukon and four in the Northwest Territories. The largest of these agreements is that between Canada and the Inuit of the Eastern Arctic, which led to the creation in 1999 of the new northern territory of Nunavut.
