River reservation and Standing Rock
A reservation is created
from portion of the old Grow Greek
and Winnebsgo reservations on the east
side Of the Missouri, and the Yankton
also on the east side of the
Missouri, is left intact. These two reser-
vatlons on the east side Of the Missouri
we're never part of the great Sioux res
ervation. which originally included all
of Dakota west OF the Missouri and
south OF Cannon Ball river. The treaty
of 1875 took large slice from the west
ern side of the original Sioux domain
and the agreement now under oonsidera.
tion absorbs about one-half of the re-
ma,nder. The smaller reservations to
be created by the new congressional
act are sll Sioux reservations, the
proprietorship being divided among the
several bands OF the tribe. The Yapk-
tonais at Grow Greek and the Yanktons
at Yankton agency, both on the east
side of the Missouri, are members of the
extensive Sioux family and are allied to
the Pine Ridge, Rosebud, Lower Brule
Cheyenne River and Standing Rock In
dians on the west side.

walton ss it now exists will under the
new arrangement be occupied by the

SIOUX lies Immediately north OF Obey
enne River agency, with the load meri
dian for its western boundary, th
forty-sixth parallel for its norther

eastern boundary.
The territory to be surrendered b
the Indians includes all OF Nowlin, Soc
bey, Delano. Ohoteau, Rinehart, Marti
and Wagner counties, nearly all OF zie
bach, Sterling, Stanley, jackson, Prai
and Presho counties and portions {
Hettinger and Todd counties. Th
cesaion will make big opening throug
the center Of the reservation and wi
place considerable chunk OF civiliz
tion between the southern braves !,
Rosebud and Pine Ridge and the Iortl
ern braves Of Cheyenne and Standin
Rock. This will tend to break up the
tribal condition and reduce to comple
snbiection the red warriors who doze
years ago were the terrer OF the plain
The Mississippi Flood.
