Treaty of October 27, 1832 – Potawatomi
On October 27, 1832, a treaty was signed between U.S. commissioners and Potawatomi leaders at Tippecanoe River. The Potawatomi ceded lands in Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan, retaining specified reservations for various bands and individuals. In return, the U.S. committed to annual payments and goods, totaling $15,000 for twelve years and additional provisions for education and individual land grants. The treaty was contingent upon ratification by the President and Senate, marking a significant moment in the shifting landscape of Native American land rights.
