Article VIII. And it is further stipulated and agreed between the
parties to this treaty that there shall never be allowed in the
confederate Sac and Fox nation any separate band, or village,
under any chief or warrior of the late hostile bands; but that the
remnant of the said hostile bands shall be divided among the
neutral bands of the said tribes according to blood–the Sacs among
the Sacs and the Foxes among the Foxes.
Article IX. In consideration of the premises, peace and friendship
are declared, and shall be perpetually maintained between the
United States and the whole confederated Sac and Fox nation,
excepting from the latter the hostages before mentioned.
Article X. The United States, besides the presents delivered at
the signing of this treaty, wishing to give a striking evidence of
their mercy and liberality, will immediately cause to be issued to
the said confederated tribes, principally for the use of the Sac
and Fox women and children whose husbands, fathers and brothers
have been killed in the late war, and generally for the use of the
whole confederated tribes, articles of subsistence as follows:
Thirty-five beef cattle, twelve bushels of salt, thirty barrels of
pork and fifty barrels of flour, and cause to be delivered for the
same purposes, in the month of April next, at the mouth of the
lower Ioway, six thousand bushels of maize or Indian corn.
Article XI. At the request of the said confederated tribes, it is
agreed that a suitable present shall be made to them on their
pointing out to any United States agent, authorized for the
purpose, the position or positions of one or more mines, supposed
by the said tribes to be of a metal more valuable than lead or
iron.
Article XII. This treaty shall take effect and be obligatory on
the contracting parties as soon as the same shall be ratified by
the President of the United States, by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate thereof.
Done at Fort Armstrong, Rock Island, Illinois, this twenty-first
day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and thirty-two, and of the Independence of the United
States the fifty-seventh.
