ARTICLE IV

In consideration of the peace now established, and of thecessions and relinquishment of lands made in the preceding article by thesaid tribes of Indians, and to manifest the liberality of the United States,as the great means of rendering this peace strong and perpetual, the UnitedStates relinquish their claims to all other Indian lands northward of theriver Ohio, eastward of the Mississippi, and westward and southward of theGreat Lakes and the waters, uniting them, according to the boundary lineagreed on by the United States and the King of Great Britain, in the treatyof peace made between them in the year 1783. But from this relinquishment by the United States, the following tracts of land are explicitly excepted: 1st. The tract on one hundred and fifty thousand acres near the rapids ofthe river Ohio, which has been assigned to General Clark, for the use ofhimself and his warriors. 2nd. The post of St. Vincennes, on the River Wabash,and the lands adjacent, of which the Indian title has been extinguished. 3rd.The lands at all other places in possession of the French people and otherwhite settlers among them, of which the Indian title has been extinguished as mentioned in the 3d article; and 4th. The post of fort Massac towards themouth of the Ohio. To which several parcels of land so excepted, the saidtribes relinquish all the title and claim which they or any of them may have.And for the same considerations and with the same views as above mentioned,the United States now deliver to the said Indian tribes a quantity of goodsto the value of twenty thousand dollars, the receipt whereof they do herebyacknowledge; and henceforward every year, forever, the United States willdeliver, at some convenient place northward of the river Ohio, like usefulgoods, suited to the circumstances of the Indians, of the value of nine thousandfive hundred dollars; reckoning that value at the first cost of the goodsin the city or place in the United States where they shall be procured. Thetribes to which those goods are to be annually delivered, and the proportionsin which they are to be delivered, are the following: 1st. To the Wyandots,the amount of one thousand dollars. 2nd. To the Delawares, the amount ofone thousand dollars. 3rd. To the Shawanees, the amount of one thousand dollars.4th. To the Miamis, the amount of one thousand dollars. 5th. To the Ottawas,the amount of one thousand dollars. 6th. To the Chippewas, the amount ofone thousand dollars. 7th. To the Pattawatimas, the amount of one thousanddollars, and 8th.

Provided, that if eitherof the said tribes shall hereafter, at an annual delivery of their shareof the goods aforesaid, desire that a part of their annuity should be furnishedin domestic animals, implements of husbandry, and other utensils convenientfor them, and in compensation to useful artificers who may reside with ornear them, and be employed for their benefit, the same shall, at the subsequentannual deliveries, be furnished accordingly.

ARTICLE V

To prevent any misunderstanding about the Indian lands relinquished by the United States in the fourth article, it is now explicitly declared, that the meaning of that relinquishment is this: the Indian tribes who have a right to those lands, are quietly to enjoy them, hunting, planting, and dwelling thereon, so long as they please, without any molestation from the United States; but when those tribes, or any of them, shall be disposed to sell their lands, or any part of them, they are to be sold only to the United States; and until such sale, the United States will protect all thesaid Indian tribes in the quiet enjoyment of their lands against all citizensof the United States, and against all other white persons who intrude uponthe same. And the said Indian tribes again acknowledge themselves to be underthe protection of the said United States, and no other power whatever.

ARTICLE VI

If any citizen of the United States, or any other white person or persons, shall presume to settle upon the lands now relinquished by the United States, such citizen or other person shall be out of the protectionof the United States; and the Indian tribe, on whose land the settlementshall be made, may drive off the settler, or punish him in such manner asthey shall think fit; and because such settlements, made without the consentof the United States, will be injurious to them as well as to the Indians,the United States shall be at liberty to break them up, and remove and punishthe settlers as they shall think proper, and so effect that protection ofthe Indian lands herein before stipulated.

ARTICLE VII

The said tribes of Indians, parties to this treaty, shall be at liberty to hunt within the territory and lands which they have now cededto the United States, without hindrance or molestation, so long as they demeanthemselves peaceably, and offer no injury to the people of the United States.

ARTICLE VIII

Trade shall be opened with the said Indian tribes; and they do hereby respectively engage to afford protection to such persons, withtheir property, as shall be duly licensed to reside among them for the purposeof trade; and to their agents and servants; but no person shall be permittedto reside among them for the purpose of trade; and to their agents and servants;but no person shall be permitted to reside at any of their towns or huntingcamps, as a trader, who is not furnished with a license for that purpose,under the hand and seal of the superintendent of the department northwestof the Ohio, or such other person as the President of the United States shallauthorize to grant such licenses; to the end, that the said Indians may notbe imposed on in their trade. And if any licensed trader shall abuse hisprivilege by unfair dealing, upon complaint and proof thereof, his licenseshall be taken from him, and he shall be further punished according to thelaws of the United States. And if any person shall intrude himself as a trader,without such license, the said Indians shall take and bring him before thesuperintendent, or his deputy, to be dealt with according to law. And toprevent impositions by forged licenses, the said Indians shall, at leaseonce a year, give information to the superintendent, or his deputies, onthe names of the traders residing among them.

ARTICLE IX

Lest the firm peace and friendship now established, should be interrupted by the misconduct of individuals, the United States, and thesaid Indian tribes agree, that for injuries done by individuals on eitherside, no private revenge or retaliation shall take place; but instead thereof,complaint shall be made by the party injured, to the other: by the said Indiantribes or any of them, to the President of theUnited States, or the superintendentby him appointed; and by the superintendent or other person appointed bythe President, to the principal chiefs of the said Indian tribes, or of thetribe to which the offender belongs; and such prudent measures shall thenbetaken as shall be necessary to preserve the said peace and friendship unbroken,until the legislature (or great council) of the United States, shall makeother equitable provision in the case, to the satisfaction of both parties.Should any Indian tribes meditate a war against the United States, or eitherof them, and the same shall come to the knowledge of the before-mentionedtribes, or either of them, they do hereby engage to give immediate noticethereof to thegeneral, or officer commanding the troops of theUnited States,at the nearest post.

And should any tribe, with hostile intentions against theUnited States, or either of them, attempt to pass through their country, theywill endeavor to prevent the same, and in like manner give information ofsuch attempt, to the general, or officer commanding, as soon as possible, that all causes of mistrust and suspicion may be avoided between them and the United States. In like manner, the United States shall give notice tothe said Indian tribes of any harm that maybe meditated against them, oreither of them, that shall come to their knowledge; and do all in their powerto hinder and prevent the same, that the friendship between them may be uninterrupted.

ARTICLE X

All other treaties heretofore made between the United States,and the said Indian tribes, or any of them, since the treaty of 1783, betweentheUnited States and Great Britain, that come within the purview of thistreaty, shall henceforth cease and become void.

In testimony whereof, the said Anthony Wayne, and the sachemsand war chiefs of the before-mentioned nations and tribes of Indians, havehereunto set their hands and affixed their Seals.
