The Iowa tribe of Indians, parties to this agreement, hereby cede,
relinquish, and convey to the United States, for the use and benefit of
the Sacs and Foxes of Missouri, for their permanent home, all that part
of their present reservation lying and being west of Nohearts Creek, and
bounded as follows, viz: Beginning at a point where the southern line of
the present Iowa reserve crosses Nohearts Creek; thence with said line
to the south fork of the Nemaha, (commonly known as Walnut Creek;)
thence down the middle of said south fork, with the meanders thereof, to
its mouth, and to a point in the middle of the Great Nemaha River;
thence down the middle of said river to a point opposite the mouth of
Nohearts Creek; and thence, in a southerly direction with the middle of
said Nohearts Creek, to the place of beginning. And it is hereby
understood and agreed that, in full consideration for said cession, the
United States shall hold in trust, for the use and benefit of the Iowas,
the one-half of the net proceeds of the sales of the lands described in
the second article of this agreement, and interest thereon, at the rate
of five per centum per annum, shall be paid to the Iowa tribe in the
same manner as their annuities are paid under the treaty of May 17,
1854. The reservation herein described shall be surveyed and set apart
for the exclusive use and benefit of the Sacs and Foxes of Missouri, and
the remainder of the Iowa lands shall be the tribal reserve of said Iowa
Indians for their exclusive use and benefit.
