Read with context

A combined edition of two different treaties, not a document covering only Treaty 2. Layout differs from the originals. Federal records do not contain all signatories' oral understandings.

Questions to investigate

  1. Locate the Treaty 2 section and its date and meeting place.
  2. How do the 1875 records describe promises beyond the initial written Treaty?
  3. Compare the annuity and reserve provisions with Treaty 6.
