]]> 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.

It settled a land dispute stemming from an 1804 treaty with the Sauk and Fox by having the tribes cede disputed lands to the U.S. In return, the U.S. agreed to pay them annual goods for 12 years. The treaty established boundaries for the land cession and hunting rights for the tribes within it. It aimed to resolve the contested land claims through negotiated cession in exchange for annuities.
