A Treaty made and concluded by Benjamin Parke, a Commissioner on the part of the United States of America, of the one part, and the Chiefs, Warriors, and Head Men, of the Tribe of Kickapoos of the Vermilion, of the other part.

ART. I. The Chiefs, Warriors, and Head Men, of the said Tribe, agree to cede, and hereby relinquish, to The United States, all the Lands which the said Tribe has heretofore possessed, or which they may rightfully claim, on the Wabash River, or any of its waters.

II. And to the end that The United States may be enabled to fix

with the other Indian Tribes a Boundary between their respective claims, the Chiefs, Warriors, and Head Men, of the said Tribe, do hereby declare, that their rightful claim is as follows, viz.: beginning at the northwest corner of the Vincennes tract; thence, westwardly, by the Boundary established by a Treaty with the Piankeshaws, on the 30th day of December, 1805,* to the dividing ridge between the waters of the Embarras and the Little Wabash; thence, by the said ridge, to the source of the Vermilion River; thence, by the same ridge, to the head of Pine Creek; thence, by the said Creek, to the Wabash River; thence, by the said River to the mouth of the Vermilion River; and thence by the Vermilion, and the Boundary heretofore established, to the place of beginning.

ART. I.

† Extract of Treaty between The United States and the Kaskaskia Tribe of Indians. Vincennes, 13th August, 1803.

ART. I. Whereas, from a variety of unfortunate circumstances, the several Tribes of Illinois Indians are reduced to a very small number, the remains of which have been long consolidated and known by the name of the Kaskaskia Tribe, and finding themselves unable to occupy the extensive Tract of Country which of right belongs to them, and which was possessed by their ancestors for many generations, the Chiefs and Warriors of the said Tribe being also desirous of procuring the means of improvement in the arts of civilized life, and a more certain and effectual support for their women and children, have, for the considerations hereinafter mentioned, relinquished, and by these presents do relinquish and cede, to The United States, all the Lands in the Illinois Territory, which the said Tribe has heretofore possessed, or which they may rightfully claim, reserving to themselves, however, the Tract of about 350 acres, near the Town of Kaskaskia, which they have always held, and which was sccured to them by the Act of Congress, of the 3d of March, 1791, and also the right of locating one other Tract of 1,280 acres, within the bounds of that now ceded, which 2 Tracts of Land shall remain to them for ever.

annually, in specie, for 10 Years; which, together with 3,000 dollars now delivered, is to be considered a full compensation for the cession hereby made, as also of all annuities, or other claims, of the said Tribe against The United States, by virtue of any Treaty with the said United States.

IV. As the said Tribe contemplate removing from the Country they now occupy, the annuity herein provided for shall be paid at such place as may be hereinafter agreed upon between The United States and said Tribe.

V. This Treaty, after the same shall be ratified by the President and Senate of The United States, shall be binding on the Contracting Parties.

In testimony whereof, the said Benjamin Parke, Commissioner as aforesaid, and the Chiefs, Warriors, and Head Men, of the said Tribe, have hereunto set their hands, at Fort Harrison, the 30th day of August, in the Year 1819. B. PARKE.
