Land Cession Terms
- When
- 1816
- Where
- St. Louis, Missouri (institutional context; treaty conducted at Portage des Sioux)
Tribes relinquished claims to land ceded by Sac and Fox on November 3, 1804, and ceded a 20-mile strip.
The tribes relinquished all right, claim, and title to land previously ceded by the Sac and Fox tribes on November 3, 1804. They also ceded a 20-mile strip connecting Lake Michigan and the Illinois River, retaining hunting and fishing rights. The 1816 date refers to the treaty year; the November 3, 1804 date is the document date of the prior Sac and Fox cession. The treaty was conducted at Portage des Sioux, so St. Louis serves only as institutional context.
