1830-31] Coming of New York Indians 435 After several delays, and miueh informal negotiation, in which the claims of the New York Indians were thoroughly discussed, the commissioners and the Menomonees finally mm on the 8th of February, 18S1, when the treaty, since familiarly known as the iitamhaugh treaty^ was definitely concluded, and signed by the parties. The New York Indians were not parties to the treaty. In order to a proper understanding of the subjecti, it is nec^sary to make copious extracts. The treaty sets forth the boundaries as claimed by the Menomonees^, taking, all the lands east of F'ox Eiver, Green Bay and Lake WinnebagO', and from; Fond du Lao south-easterly to the sourcesi of the Milwaukee Eiver, and dowUi the same to its mioutii—^this tract was ceded to the United States. They claimed westierly and north-westerly, everything west of Green Bay fromj the Shoskonabie [Es-co-na~ba] Eiver to the upper forks of the Menomonee, thence to Plover Portage of the Wiscon^ s.in, and thence up that river to Sbft Maple Eiver; west toi Plume Eiver of the Chippewa, thence do^wn the Chippewa thirty miilea; thence easterly to the fork of the Money or Lemonweir Eiver, and down that river to its month; thence to the Wisconsin Plortage, thence down the Fox to Lake Winnebago.

Description | Surveyor, journalist, and politician, Albert Ellis came to Wisconsin in 1822 as an advocate for the Oneida Indians. After accompanying an early group on their journey west, Ellis worked to negotiate land claims for the Oneida, Stockbridge, Brothertown (sometimes spelled Brotherton) and other eastern tribes in Wisconsin, including a protracted series of treaty negotiations with the Menominee Indians given here. Although he wrote this essay in a dispassionate voice, Ellis had in fact participated in most of the events he relates, and offers memories of Menominee chief Oshkosh, Eleazar Williams, and other principal actors. Ellis went on to publish the first newspaper in Wisconsin and to serve in a variety of public offices. |
