When Stand Watie surrendered his men at the end of the conflict, how many did he surrender?

I'll let you wade thru it all as there is a LOT of reorganization etc but looks like around 300 men.

@archieclement Do you know much about this topic?

Looked at 3 books including a Watie bio none gave a number. However on June 15th the tribes of the Confederate indians held a grand council where it was decided the tribes would end the war, so commands started to surrender, Watie was the last on June 23rd.

Ok, so there we're other Confederate Indian units?

There were many CS Indian units.

The information in this list of Civil War Confederate Regular Troops comes from the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors web site (CWSS). That web site can also be searched by the name of a soldier.
