And the United States hereby agrces to furnish the Delaware nation with forty horses, to be given to their poor and destitute people, and the use of six wagons and ox-teams, to assist the nation in removing their heavy articles to their permanent home; and to supply them with all necessary farming utensils and tools necessary for building houses, &c. and to supply them with provisions on their journey, and with one year's provisions after they get to their permanent residence; and to have a grist and saw mill erected for their use, within two years after their complete removal. And it is hereby expressly stipulated and agreed upon by the parties, that for and in consideration of the full and entire relinquishment by the Delaware nation of all claim whatever to the country now occupied by them in the State of Missouri, the United States shall pay to the said Delaware nation, an additional permanent annuity of one thousand dollars. And it is further stipulated that thirty-six sections of the best land within the limits hereby relinquished, shall be selected under the direction of the President of the United States, and sold for the purpose of raising a fund, to be applied under the direction of the President, to the support of schools for the education of Delaware children.

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 Desmoines river, and passing the sources of the Little Sioux, and Floyds rivers, to the fork of the 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 northwest corner of the said State; thence, to the high lands between the waters falling into the Missouri and Desmoines, passing on 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 Desmoines, to a point opposite the source of Boyer river; and thence, in a direct line to the upper fork of the Desmoines, 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. |
