This treaty was signed in St. Louis between the U.S. and the Great and Little Osage tribes, who ceded a large amount of land across Missouri, Arkansas, and beyond. The treaty established reservations of land for the Osage tribes’ use and annuity payments owed to them by the U.S. It also arranged for livestock, tools, and services to aid the Osages’ farming and settlement on their reserved lands. The parties aimed to settle all standing claims between the Osages and Delawares, U.S. traders, and American citizens through additional U.S. payments. Overall, through ceded lands and prescribed U.S. payments and provisions, the treaty aimed to promote the Osages’ protection and gradual agricultural settlement.
