WHEREAS a treaty between the Unit
ed States of America and the Delawares,
Shawannes, Putawatimies, Miamies,* Eel
River, Wceas, Kickapoos, Piunkafiiaws
and Kalkaikias nations of Indians was con
cluded and signed on the fevcnth day of
June, in the year one thousand eight hun
dred and three, and was duly ratified and
confirmed by the President of the United
States, on the 25th day of November, in
the year aforelaid, by and v/ith the advice
, and consent of the Senate, which treaty is
in the words following to wit:
Articles of a treaty between the'Unilcd
States of America and the Delawares, Shaw
annes, Putawatimies, Miamies, Eel River,
Weeas, Kichapoos,** Piankalhawe and Kaf
kaikias nations of Indians.
Articles of a treaty made at Fort Wayne
on the Miami of the lake, between Willi
am Henry Harrison, governor of the Indi
ana -Territory, Superinfendant of Indian
affairs and Co'mmiffioner Plenipotentiary of
the United States for concluding any treaty
or treaties which may be found neceflary
with any of the Indian tribes North Welt
of the Ohio of the one part; and the tribes
of Indians called the Delawares, Shawan
nes, Putawatamics, Miamies and Kicka
poos, by their Chiefs and head Warriors,
and those of the Eel River, Weeas, Pianlc
afhaws and Kafkafkias by their agents and
■ reprefentadves Tuthinipee, Winnemac,
Richewillc and Little Turtle, (who are
properly authorifed by the fail! tribes) of
the other part.
Art. I. Whereas it is declared by the
4th article of the treaty of Greenville, that
the United States reserve for their ufc the
Pod of St. Vincennes and all the lands ad
jacent to which the Indian titles had been
extinguished; And whereas it has been
found difficult to determine the precise limits
of the traft as held by the French and Brit
ish governments; it is thereby agreed that the
boundaries of the said traft (ball be as fol
lows : Beginning at Point Coupee on the
Wabafti, and running thence by a line
north seventy-eight degrees, weft twelve
miles ; thence by a line parallel to the ge
neral course of the Wabalh, until it lhall
be interfered by a line at right angles to
the fame, passing through the mouth of
White river ; thence by the last mentioned
line across the Wabalh and towards the
Ohio feventy.two miles j thence by a line
north twelve degrees weft until it shall be
interfered by a line at right angles to the
fame, passing through Point Coupee and by
the last mentioned line to the place of be
ginning.
2. The United States here relinquish all
claim which they may have had to any lands
adjoining to, or in the neighborhood of
the trar above deferibed.
3. As a mark of their regard and attach
ment to the United States, whom they ac
knowledge for their only friends and pro
testors, and for the confidcration hereinafter
mentioned, the laid tribes do hereby rclin
qui(h and cede to the United States the
great Salt Spring upon the Saline creek,
w hich falls into the Ohio below the mouth
of the Wabalh, with a quantity of land
surrounding it, not exceeding lour miles
fquarc, and which may be laid oft in a
square or oblong, as the one or the other
may be found most convenient to the Unit
ed States. And the said United States, being
desirous that the Indian tribes Ihould par
ticipate in the benefits to be derived from
the said spring, hereby engage to deliver
yearly, rid every year for the use of the
said Indians, a quantity of fait not exceed
ing one hundred and fifty bulhels, and
which lhall be divided among the several
tribes in such manner as the General Coun
cil of the Chiefs may determine.

4. For the djftilidcration before mention*
ej and lor the convenience which the fair!
tribes will themselves derive from such ef
tabliftunents, it is/hereby agreed, that as
soon as the tribes Qdßed the Kickapoos, Eel
Rivet, Weeas, and Kalkaflti
as, Iball give thcirconfcnt to the mwtfure,
the t|pued States (hali have the right of
locating three trails of land, (of such (ire
as be agreed upon with the last roen-
tribes) on the man road between
Vi napes and Kalkaflcla, and one other
betwdn Vincennes and Clarkfville, for the
purpoi'c of erefting houses of entertainment
for the accommodation of travellers. But
it is exprefsiy understood, that if the said
locations arc made on any of the rivers
which cross the said road, and ferries (hpuld
be eftabliffied on the fame, that in times
oUvgh water, any Indian or Indians be."
lorigir - to either of the - 1 — —*
panic* /" this treaty, mail have the privi
lege ol cromng such ferry toll free.
Whereas there is rcafon to believe,
that if the boundary lines of the tract dc
feribed »n the firft article, Ihould be run in
the manner therein direfled, that some of
the and locations of land made
by the citizens of tne United States will
fall in pie Indian country-: It is hereby a
grectb that flick alterations (hall be made
in the direction of the said lines as will in,
cludcitliciTl; and a quantity of land equal
in quantity to what may be thus taken,
(hall bj giiren to the said tribes either at
the eaftor the weft end of the trail.
In vestimony whereof, the Com

Chiefs find Warriors of the Delawares,
