17 oct. 1855 - Lame Bull Treaty

Description:

This treaty took place at the mouth of the Judith River with the Blackfeet, Nez Perce, and the Salish and Pend d’Oreille (language in treaty also refers to Flathead tribe). To make way for the railroad, Isaac Stevens was charged with negotiating a peace between the Blackfeet and the allied tribes - the Nez Perce, Salish, and Pend d’Oreille. A common hunting ground was recognized and designated for a period of 99 years. Lands reserved exclusively for the Blackfeet were identified and described. The treaty was ratified in 1856. -The Blackfeet weren't actually at the treaty - instead Father De Smet acted as a "representative."
