TREATY W CTB TBE Nl!: W YORK INDIANS, 1838. ·603 their red brethren io the West: And whereas this subject; was agitated in a general council o.f the Six nations as early as 1810, and resulted in :;ending a memorial to the President of the United States, inquiring ,vhetht>r the Govrrnment would consent to their leaving their habita­ tions and their removing into the neighborhood of their western breth­ ren, and if they could procure a home there, by ~ift or purchase, whether the Government would acknowledge their title to the lands so obtained in the 81\me manner it had acknowledged it in those from whom they might recei\'e it ; and further, whether the existing treaties would, in such a case remain in full forj::e, and their annuities be paid as here­ tofore: And wherelUI, wit,h the approbation of the President of the United States, -purchases were made by the New York Indians from the Menomonie and Winnebago Indians of certain lands at Gl'een Bay in the Territory of Wisconsin, which after much difficulty and conten­ tion with those Indians concerning the extent of that purchase, the whole subject was finally settled by a treaty between the United States and the :Menomonie Indians, concluded in February, 1831, to which the New York Indians gave their a&!ent on the seventeenth day of Octo­ ber 1832: And wherea8, by the provisions of that treaty.., five hundred thousand acres of land are secured to the New York 1nuians of the Six Nations and the St. Regis tribe, as a future home, on condition that they all remove to the same, within three years, or such reason­ able time as the President should prescribe: And whereas, the Presi­ dent is satisfied that various considerations have prevented those still residing in New York from removing to Green Bay, and among other reasons, that many who were in favour of emigration, preferred -to remove at onre to the Indian territory, which they were fully per­ suaded was the only permanent and peaceful home for all the Indians. And they therefore applied to the President to take their Green Bay lands, and provide them a new home among their brethren in the Indian terntory. And whereas, the President being anxious to pro­ mote the peace, prosperity and happiness of bis red children, and being determined to carry out the humane policy of the Government in removing the Ind-ians from the ea:,t to the west of the Mississippi, within the Indian territory, by bringing them to see and feel, by bis justice and liberality. that it is their true policy and for their int.crest to do so without delay. The.reforei taking into c.onsideration the foregoing premises, the fol­ lowing artfo es of a treaty are entered into between the United States of America and the several tribes of the New York Indians, the names of whose chiefs, head men and warriors are hereto subscribed, and those who may herea.fter give their assent to this treaty in writing, within such time as the President shall appoint.
