First-They shall rellnquish all
claims to that part Of their reservation
lying west of one hundred and three
degrees meridian, and that the western
boundary of said reservation shall
commence mt the intersection OF the
one hundred and third meridian, with
the northern boundary of Nebraska,
thence uurtherly along sad meridian
To its intersection south at the fork Of
Cheyenne river, thence down said
stream to its intersection with the
orth fork, thence up Cheyenne river
north to said one hundred and three
degrees meridian thence north along
said meridian 10 the south Cannon
Ball river or Cedar creek, thence down
said stream 10 the Missouri river, and
also relinquish all claim To VII the
country outside Of the present limits OF
their reservation, and that article six
teen OF the treaty OF 1868 is hereby
abrogated'
Second-They shall grant the right OF
way over said reservation for wagon
and other roads from convenient mud
accessible points on the Missouri river
to that portion OF the reservation
which IL to be coded, and not NOR,
than three IN number, to be designat
ed hereafter 10y the President of tn
United States, and they shall permi
the construction of and the free, unob
structed use of said roads and fire.,
navigation Of the Missouri river,
hird--They shall receive all annui
ties provided by the treaty and all sub
sistence supplies which may be pro.
vded for them at such points or places
on said reset vation ana In the vicinity
of the Miss, IT, river, rs the President
may designate
Fourth, Fiji Whereas Congress- has
provided by law that no appropriation
shall be made hereafter for said In
dians, until some plan shall have been
devised which shall look to their be-
coming selfsupp0lting, and whereas
there is no county within the limits OF
the present reservation suited for such
purposes, and whereas II Is the design
of the President of the United States
10 aid In the fullest manner possible
i1f their progress IN civilization, there
fore said Indians shall agree to submit
themselves TO such benelicient plans
~ the Government shall provide for
them In the selection OF u
country suitable foe permanent
homes, where they may live like white
men. The President believes the only
country where they can hope of per-
manent improvement Is in the Indian
Territory, iDasmuch as the removal Of
the Indians to the Missouri river will
necessarily be temporary. If they
shall agree to 20 directly to the Indian
Territory next season, they shall be
permitted to remain ut the agency
until that time, but before any such
removal from their reservation, they
may select II delegation OF five or more
from each band TO visit the country
proposed for their future home, and
thus satisfy themselves OF its desra-
biiity.
Whenever the head Of the
family shall, in good faith, select an
allotment of land and engage in the
cultivation thereof, the government
shall, with his aid, erect confortabl.
houses thereon; and If such Indians
shall remove to such place rs may bt
designated by the government M theil
future home within three years, the
COVER nment officers shall provide the
principal chief with good dwelling
house and to improve the morals ant
industrious habits Of said Indians, u
is authorized that the agent, farmer
carpenter, blacksmith, or other arti
sans employed or permitted to reside
within the reservation belonging t'
the Indians, parties to this treaty
shall be lawfully married aud live will
their respective families on said re
servation, and no person other than
Indians Of full blood, whose fitness
generally or otherwise 10 not conducive
to the welfare OF said Indians, shall re-
ceive any benefit from this or former
treaties, and may be expelled IRON
the reservation. The provisions OF
the treaty, except as herein modified
shall continue In full force and apply
to any country which may hereafter
be occupied by said Indians US home
and Congress shall seoure-to them al
orderly government they shall b.
subject to the laws OF the United State
and each individual shall be protected
in his rights, property, person ant
life.
