The Indian Reservation on Lake Pepin and the Location
of Hal5reed !Siour- Indian SerpThs reservation
made under the treaty of $780, which afterwards became
the subject olegsaon by Congress in approved July
l7th 1854 providing for the exngushment of the Indian
title thereto The general effect of that act simply
divide the reservation among the surviving habreed In
dams of this tribe by issuing scrip for that amount and
requiring them to execute REIMBURSEMENT of their title
the same exchange for it. After the reservation had
been surveyed and of the Indians had been taken
by direction of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs was
found that each Indian was entitled four hundred and
eighty of land for which scrip has been issued in
FIVE separate pieces to each ndianwo pieces of forty
each of eighty acres and tive of one hundred
and sixty acres each.
We learned, application ut the proper department,
that the Commissioner Of the General Land Office has just
despatched to the land officers in Minnesota the instructions
necessary for their guidance in the location of this scrip
under the provisions Of the act of Congress above referred
to. Perhaps the most important point decided by the
Commissioned is that this scrip is not transferable and
must be located in the of the Indian whom was
issued The Commissioner that whilst the improve
of the settlers within the reservation according
the laws will be protected from the To-
cation of the scrip further legislation will be necessary
perfect their claims existing laws make provision for
that purpose The scrip also locaabe upon any lands
