At some future time they will return you this much out of their payment. The Lake Shore Indian consented as was requested, thinking that it would be returned, but that was the last of what they lent.
Then again came the word of our Great Father calling his children together through Gilbert, asking us for the North Shore Country.
Your Great Father promises to give you Ninety Thousand Dollars, to be disposed of as you may see fit, and you may distribute the same among your young men, Provided you consent to comply with his wishes, and sell him the North Shore Country.
You shall reserve the lands you are inhabiting, there you shall live as long as there is one Indian left. Then you will never be removed from your reservation, nor never be ordered to leave it.
For the sake of your Graves, you was not willing to remove when your Great Father ordered you through Watrous, which was for all the Indians.
Your Mixed Bloods are expelled from your Villages and Reservations. You will give them Six Thousand Dollars in Coin. He will then have Eighty Acres of land outside of your Reservations.
Your Great Father also gives you School Teachers, the same who will teach your Children to read. You will give or mark out your School Teachers fence which he will cultivate as a Garden to live on.

| Description | This document, sometimes cited as the "Statement made by the Indians, a bilingual petition of the Chippewas of Lake Superior, 1864" was carried by an Ojibwe delegation to the U.S. Commission of Indian Affairs in Washington. It conveys the Ojibwe's grievances concerning federal government actions over the previous decades, and explains their understanding of the various treaty negotiations conducted since 1825. It deals specifically with land cessions and tribal rights to timber, minerals, and wild rice. Its history and background were discussed in an article by Harry Miller in the summer 2001 Wisconsin Magazine of History entitled, "These I Do Not Sell" (linked on the Turning Points site). The original bilingual manuscript is shown here with Ojibwe on the left and English on the right.
