twenty-five lodges and ITO WARRIORS: Mr..

that Little Crow had conc into that re-
gion to get privilege from the Hudson
Bay Company to settle in their territory,
and to procure the cession OF tract for
their occupancy.: The Hudson Bay Com
papy refused to grant this request, as they
had no land to dispose Of thus, and the
Indian Tribes in their territory would not
allow the Sioux to come there. ~.,' -.
