]]> This treaty was signed in St. Louis between the U.S. and 8 Sioux tribes to re-establish peace and friendship after the War of 1812. It mutually forgave past injuries and renewed friendly relations between the Sioux and American citizens that existed before the war. The Sioux chiefs confirmed all previous land cessions made by their tribes to European colonial governments now within U.S. territory. The tribes placed themselves under U.S. protection and no other nation. Overall, through peace and confirmation of past land transfers, the treaty aimed to restore positive U.S.-Sioux relations after the War of 1812.
