1836 signate, if they require it, three classes of these claimants, the first of which, shall receive one-half more than the second, and the second double the third. Each man, woman and child shall be enumerated, and an equal share, in the respective classes shall be allowed to each. If the father is living with the family, he shall receive the shares of himself, his wife and children; if the father is dead or separated from the family, and the mother is living with the family, she shall have her own share and that of the children. If the father and mother are neither living with the family, or if the children are orphans, their share shall be retained till they are twenty one years of age provided, that such portions of it, as may be necessary, may under the direction of the President, be from time to time applied for their support. All other persons at the age of twenty one years shall receive their shares agreeably to the proper class. Out of the said fund of one hundred and fifty thousand dollar the sum of five thousand dollars shall be reserved to be applied, under the direction of the President, to the support of such of the poor half breeds, as may require assistance, to be expended in annual instalments for the term of ten years, commencing with the second year. Such of the half breeds as may be judged incapable of making a proper use of the money, allowed them by the commissioner, shall receive the same in instalments, as the President may direct.

Article Seventh. In consideration of the cessions above made, and as a further earnest of the disposi tion felt to do full justice to the Indians, and to further their well being, the United States engage to keep two additional blacksmith-shops, one of which, shall be located on the reservation north of Grand river, and the other at the Sault Ste Marie. A permanent interpreter will be provided at each of these locations. It is stipulated to renew the present dilapidated shop at Michilimackinac, and to maintain a gunsmith, in addition to the present smiths establishment, and to build a dormitory for the Indians visiting the post, and appoint a person to keep it, and supply it with firewood. It is also agreed, to support two farmers and assistants, and two mechanics as the President may designate, to teach and aid the Indians, in agri

culture, and the mechanic arts. The farmers and 1836 mechanics, and the dormitory, will be continued for ten years, and as long hereafter, as the President may deem this arrangement useful and necessary; but he benefits of the other stipulations of this article, shall be continued beyond the expiration of the annuiies, and it is understood that the whole of this article hall stand in force, and inure to the benefit of the ndians, as long after the expiration of the twenty ears as Congress may appropriate for the objects.

Article Eigth. It is agreed, that as soon as the aid Indians desire it, a deputation shall be sent to he west of the Mississippi, and to the country between Lake Superior and the Mississippi, and a suitable ocation shall be provided for them, among the Chipewas, if they desire it, and it can be purchased upon easonable terms, and if not, then in some portion of he country west of the Mississippi, which is at the isposal of the United States. Such improvements as dd value to the land, hereby ceded, shall be appraised, and the value shall be paid to the band owing it. The nission establishments upon the Grand river shall be praised and the value paid to the proper boards. When the Indians wish it, the United States will emove them, at their expense, provide them a year's ubsistence in the country to which they go, and furish the same articles, and equipments to each person, 1s are stipulated to be given to the Pottawatomies in the final treaty of cession concluded at Chicago.

Article Ninth. Whereas the Ottawas and Chippewas, feeling a strong consideration for aid rendered by certain of their half-breeds on Grand river, and other parts of the country ceded, and wishing to testify their gratitude on the present occasion, have assigned such individuals, certain locations of land, and united in a strong appeal for the allowance of the same in this treaty; and whereas no such reservations can be permitted in carrying out the special directions of the President on this subject, it is agreed, that, in addition to the general fund set apart for half-breed claims, in the sixth article, the sum of forty-eight thousand one hundred and forty-eight dollars shall be paid for the extinguishment of this class of claims, to be divided in the following manner.

1836 To Rix Robinson, in lieu of a section of land, granted to his Indian family, on the Grand river rapids, estimated by good judjes to be worth half a million at the rate of thirty six dollars an acre: To Leonard Slater, in trust for Chiminonoquat, for a section of land above said rapids, at the rate of ten dollars an acre: To John A.

Article Tenth. The sum of thirty thousand dollars shall be paid to the chiefs, on the ratification of this treaty, to be divided agreably to a shedule hereunto annexed.

Article Eleventh. The Ottawas having consideration for one of their aged chiefs, who is reduced to poverty, and it being known that he was a firm friend of the American Government, in that quarter, during the late war, and suffered much in consequence of his sentiments, it is agreed, that an annuity of one hund red dollars per annum shall be paid to Ningweegon, or the Wing, during his natural life, in money or goods as he may choose. An other of the chiefs of said nation, who attended the treaty of Greenville in 1793, and is now, at a very advanced age, reduced to extreme want, together with his wife, and the Government being apprized that he has pleaded a promise of Gen. Wayne, in his behalf it is agreed that Chusco of Michilimackinac shall receive an annuity of fifty dol lars per annum during his natural life.

Article Twelfth. All expenses attending the jour- 1836 neys of the Indians from, and to their homes, and their visit at the seat of Government, together with the expenses of the treaty, including a proper quantity of clothing to be given them, will be paid by the United States.

Schoolcraft, commissioner on the part of the United States, and the chiefs and delegates, of the Ottawa and ChipDewa nations of Indians have hereunto set their hands, t Washington the seat of Government, this twentyight day of March, in the year one thousand eight undred and thirty six.
