The Ioway Indians release the United States from all claims and demands
of every kind and description arising under former treaties, and agree
to remove themselves within six months after the ratification of this
instrument, to the lands herein reserved for their homes; in
consideration whereof, the United States agree to pay to said Indians
five thousand dollars—two thousand of which with such portion of
balances of former appropriations of interest-fund as may not now be
necessary under specific heads, may be expended in the settlement of
their affairs preparatory to removal.
ARTICLE 13
The object of this instrument being to advance the interests of the
Ioway people, it is agreed, if it prove insufficient, from causes which
cannot now be foreseen, to effect these ends, that the President may, by
and with the advice and consent of the Senate, adopt such policy in the
management of their affairs, as, in his judgment, may be most beneficial
to them; or Congress may hereafter make such provision by law as
experience shall prove to be necessary.
ARTICLE 14
This instrument shall be obligatory on the contracting parties whenever
the same shall be ratified by the President and the Senate of the United
States.
