]]> This 1825 treaty was signed between the United States and several Native American tribes, including the Sioux, Chippewa, Winnebago, Ottawa, and Potawatomi. Its main purpose was to promote peace and establish boundaries between the Sioux and Chippewa tribes, who had been at war, as well as with other neighboring tribes like the Sac and Fox. It established lines dividing the land of the different tribes, with details on rivers, lakes and other geographic features marking the borders. The tribes acknowledged U.S. supremacy and disclaimed dependence on any other nation. The treaty also provided for future councils to be held with tribes like the Yancton Sioux and Ottoes to get their formal assent and deal with any unsettled land claims. Overall, through boundary lines and peace agreements between tribes, the treaty aimed to avoid wider Native wars over land.

]]> This treaty was signed at St. Louis between the U.S. and a group of Winnebago chiefs and warriors living separately on the Wisconsin River. It renewed friendly relations between them and forgave past hostilities, while confirming all previous Winnebago land cessions to the U.S. The chiefs placed their group under U.S. protection only and promised to remain distinct from the rest of the Winnebago tribe. The parties also agreed to exchange any prisoners captured on both sides. Overall, the treaty aimed to secure peace and alliance with this breakaway band of Winnebagos, primarily to prevent further frontier violence.
