The said Tribes being anxious to remove all causes which may hereafter

with the United States on the following Articles.
ARTICLE I.
The said Tribes cede and relinquish to the United States forever all their
right and title to the lands lying within the following
boundaries, to wit: Beginning at the upper fork of the Demoine River, and

first creek which falls into the Big Sioux or Calumet on the east side;
thence, down said creek, and Calumet River to the Missouri River; thence down
said Missouri River to the Missouri State line, above the Kansas; thence along
said line to the north west corner of the said State, thence to the high lands
between the waters falling into the Missouri and Desmoines, passing to said
high lands along the dividing ridge between the forks of the Grand River;
thence along said high lands or ridge separating the waters of the Missouri
from those of the Demoine, to a point opposite the source of Boyer River, and
thence in a direct line to the upper fork of the Demoine, the place of
beginning. But it is understood that the lands ceded and relinquished by this
Treaty, are to be assigned and allotted under the direction of the President
of the United States, to the Tribes now living thereon, or to such other
Tribes as the President may locate thereon for hunting, and other purposes.

up, and with the Meanders of the Missouri River to the point of beginning, it
is agreed that the half-breeds of said Tribes and Bands may be suffered to
occupy said tract of land; holding it in the same manner, and by the same

to any lands not embraced in the cession herein made; but that the same shall
be occupied and held by them as heretofore.
