]]> This treaty was signed in St. Louis between the U.S. and Quapaw leaders, who ceded large amounts of land in present-day Arkansas while reserving a tract for their nation. The U.S. promised annual payments of goods for the cession while allowing Quapaws hunting rights until further assignment. The treaty provided for U.S. infrastructure through the territory and aimed to prevent violence by obligating both parties to turn over criminal offenders for trial and punishment. Overall, besides legitimizing U.S. control over the territory, a main purpose was establishing formal procedures for dispute resolution and criminal justice regarding inter-tribal and Indian-American issues.
