 with the Jleniimonie; thence to the big island of the Shoski- 

 naubic or Smiioth-rock river; theme following the channel 

 of said river to Green bay, which it strikes between the little 

 and great Hay de Xoiniet. 



It is agreed between the Menomonies and 'Winebagoes that so 

 far as regards their interests the whole matter iu dispute 

 concerning the boundaries of the tract purchased by the 

 New York Indians shall be referred to the I'resident of the 

 U. S. fur linal decision. And the President Is authorized, on 

 the part of the tirst-nauied tribes, to establish such bound- 

 aries between them and the New York Indians as he may 

 consider ecjuitable and just. 



It is agreed betweeu the Mi'nomonees and the U. S. that the 

 boundaries of the tracts formerly claimed by the French and 

 British governments, the title to which is now vested in the 

 U. S., shall be as follows: Begiuning on the shore of Green 

 bay, 6 miles due N. from the ]iarallel of the mouth of Fos 

 river, and running theucc in a straight line, but witli the

 intersection of the continuation of the westerly boundary of 

 the tract at the Granil Kankaulin claimed by Augustiu Grig- 

 uiou; thence on a line with the sai<l boundary to the same; 

 thence with the same to Fox river; thence on the same course 

 6 miles; thence in a direct line to the southwesteru Ixiuudary

 as the settlement at the bottom of the bay; thence with the 

 southerly boundary of the said tract to the southeasterly 

 corner thereof; and thence with the easterly boundary of 

 the said tract to Green bay, provided that if the President 

 of the U. S. shall be of opinion that the boundaries thus 

 established interfere with any just claims of the New York 

 Indians the President may then change the said boundaries 

 in any manner he may think proper, so that the quantity of 

 land contained in said tract be not greater than by the 

 boundaries herein defined. 



In order to consolidate some of the dispersed bands of the 

 Pottawatamie tribe in the Territory of Michigan at a point 

 removed from the road leading from Detroit to Chicago and 

 as far as ])racticable from the settlements of the whites, it 

 is agreed that the fol lowing tracts of land heretofore reserved 

 for the use of said tribe shall be ceded to the U. .S.. viz. :
