]]> 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.

Under this treaty, the Sauk and Fox ceded land between the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers in Missouri to the U.S. In exchange, the U.S. agreed to pay them annuities for 10 years and provide a blacksmith, farming supplies and cattle. It established a small reservation for “half-breeds” of the tribes between the Des Moines and Mississippi Rivers. The treaty aimed to remove the tribes from Missouri through land cession in exchange for annuities.
