Treaty of Lewistown
- When
- 1825
- Where
- Shawnee and Seneca lands in western Ohio (treaty context); Washington, D.C. is a legacy-row hint only
In 1825 the Shawnee and Seneca agreed through the Treaty of Lewistown to exchange their western Ohio lands for territory west of the Mississippi River.
Through a series of treaties, including the Treaty of Lewistown of 1825, the Shawnee and Seneca agreed to exchange their lands in western Ohio for territory west of the Mississippi River, in what later became Indian Territory. In a subsequent development, approximately 1,400 Missouri Shawnee were forcibly relocated from Cape Girardeau, along the west bank of the Mississippi River, to southeastern Kansas near the Neosho River. The passages do not connect the treaty to the Senate ratification event or to that relocation.
