Margin Notes:
This agreement made pursuant to an item in the sundry civil act
of Congress, approved August 7, 1882, by Newton Edmunds, Peter C.
Shannon, and James H. Teller, duly appointed commissioners on the
part of the United States, and the different bands of the Sioux
Indians by their chiefs and headmen whose names are hereto subscribed,
they being duly authorized to act in the premises, witnesseth that
-
Article I.
Whereas it is the policy of the Government of the United States
to provide for said Indians a permanent home where they may live
after the manner of white men, and be protected in their rights
of property, person and life, therefore to carry out such policy
it is agreed that hereafter the permanent of the various bands of
said Indians shall be upon the separate reservations hereinafter
described and set apart. Said Indians, acknowledging the right of
the chiefs and headmen of the various bands at each agency to determine
for themselves and for their several bands, with the Government
of the United States, the boundaries of their separate reservations,
hereby agree to accept and abide by such agreements and conditions
as to the location and boundaries of such reservations as may be
made and agreed upon by the United States and the band or bands
for which such separate reservation may be made, and as the said
separate boundaries may be herein set forth.
Article II.
The said Indians do hereby relinquish and cede to the United States
all of the Great Sioux Reservation - as reserved to them by the
treaty of 1868, and modified by the agreement of 1876 - not herein
specifically reserved and set apart as separate reservations for
them. The said bands do severally agree to accept and occupy the
separate reservations to which they are herein assigned as their
permanent homes, and they do hereby severally relinquish to the
other bands respectively occupying the other separate reservations,
all right, title, and interest in and to the same reserving to themselves
only the reservation herein set apart for their separate use and
occupation.
Article III.
In consideration of the cession of territory and rights, as herein
made, and upon compliance with each and every obligation assumed
by the said Indians, the United States hereby agrees that each head
of a family entitled to select three hundred and twenty acres of
land, under Article 6, of the treaty of 1868, may, in the manner
and form therein prescribed, select and secure for purposes of cultivation,
in addition to said three hundred and twenty acres, a tract of land
not exceeding eighty (80) acres within his reservation, for each
of his children, living at the ratification of this agreement, under
the age of eighteen (18) years; and such child, upon arriving at
the age of eighteen years shall have such selection certified to
him or her in lieu of the selection granted in the second clause
of said Article 6; but no right of alienation or encumbrance is
acquired by such selection and occupation; unless hereafter authorized
by act of Congress.
Article IV.
The United States further agrees to furnish and deliver to the
said Indians twenty-five thousand cows, and one thousand bulls,
of which the occupants of each of said separate reservations shall
receive such proportion as the number of Indians thereon bears to
the whole number of Indian parties to this agreement. All of the
said cattle and their progeny shall bear the brand of the Indian
department, and shall be held subject to the disposal of said department,
and shall not be sold, exchanged or slaughtered, except by consent
or order of the agent in charge, until such time as this restriction
shall be removed by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
Article V.
It is also agreed that the United States will furnish and deliver
to each lodge of said Indians or family of persons legally incorporated
with them, who shall, in good faith, select land within the reservation
to which such lodge or family belongs, and begin the cultivation
thereof, one good cow, and one well broken pair of oxen, with yoke
and chain, within reasonable time after making such selection and
settlement.
Article VI.
The United States will also furnish to each reservation herein
made and described, a physician, carpenter, miller, engineer, farmer,
and blacksmith, for a period of ten years from the date of this
agreement.
Article VII.
It is hereby agreed that the sixteenth and thirty-sixth sections
of each township in said separate reservations shall be reserved
for school purposes, for the use of the inhabitants of said reservations,
as provided in sections 1946 and 1947 of the revised statutes of
the United States.
It is also agreed that the provisions of Article VII of the treaty
of 1868, securing to said Indians the benefits of education, shall
be continued in force for not less than twenty (20) years, from
and after the ratification of this agreement.
Article VIII.
The provisions of the treaty of 1868, and the agreement of 1876,
except as herein modified, shall continue in full force.
This agreement shall not be binding upon either party until it
shall have received the approval of the President and Congress of
the United States.
