Once a treaty is drafted, it is then signed by each state which acknowledges that they will put the terms of the treaty into effect. Once this occurs the treaty is ratified. For an example, there were treaties with Native Americans that forced them onto “reservations” located in land areas designated as “Indian Territory”. This was a common practice in the United States that spanned from the late 1700s into the early 1900s. Once Oklahoma became a state in 1907, it was no longer distinguished as “Oklahoma Indian Territory” and Indian Territory was extinguished.
