HISTORY OF CROW RESERVATION: In 1890, an agreement was made between the Crow Indians and the U.S. government, where the Crow agreed to cede a portion of their reservation in Montana in exchange for annuities and other provisions, with the full agreement being finalized on December 8, 1890. This involved negotiations to sell land and resulted in the relocation and potential mismanagement of funds. The agreement stipulated the relinquishment of a portion of the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana. Financial Compensation: In exchange for this land cession, the U.S. Government agreed to pay the Crow Indians a total of nine hundred and forty-six thousand dollars, along with existing annuities and provisions for clothing. Annuity Fund: A portion of the remaining annuity fund was to be placed in the U.S. Treasury to earn 5% interest annually, with both the interest and a portion of the principal disbursed to provide each Indian with an annual payment of $12. Government Oversight: The agreement also detailed that the Crow Indians were to be paid semiannually. Context and Aftermath Negotiations and Mismanagement: Discussions and negotiations for the sale of tribal lands were ongoing in the fall of 1887, and there were incidents of land leasing controversies and allegations of mismanagement by Indian Agents. Displacement and Living Conditions: Some Crow people were displaced due to the sale and leasing of tribal lands and were forced to live outside the reservation, leading to a situation with a lack of housing. Government's Role: The U.S. government's role involved managing these agreements to ensure the welfare and financial stability of the Crow people. In 1890, the United States' policy of confining Native Americans to reservations continued, a system designed to clear land for westward expansion and Americanize tribes into farmers. While Native people were forced onto these lands, many reservations contained desert or unsuitable land, and the allotment process, including the Dawes Act of 1887, often resulted in tribes losing vast portions of their ancestral lands. By 1890, the policy of forcibly isolating Native peoples on reservations was firmly established, with the goal of dismantling tribal authority and culture. YAKAMA RESERVATION: Yakama Nation History | Indian Reservation Treaty Details & Map In 1890, the Yakama tribe resided on the Yakama Indian Reservation, which was established by the 1855 treaty and located in present-day southwestern Washington State. This large, 1.1 million-acre reservation encompassed lands on the eastern flanks of the Cascade Mountains and was home to the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, which includes several distinct peoples. Background The 1855 Treaty: The Yakama Indian Reservation was granted to the Yakama people through a treaty signed in 1855 by Governor Isaac I. Stevens. The reservation is the home of the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, a federally recognized tribe that includes various peoples such as the Klickitat, Palouse, and others. Reservation Location: The reservation is situated in southern Washington State, with the eastern slope of Mount Adams located within its boundaries. Aboriginal Territory: The reservation is located within the Yakama ancestral lands. Life on the Reservation in 1890 The reservation was a primary location where the Yakama people lived their traditional lives and continued their customary practices, despite the pressures of the time. The reservation provided land for hunting, gathering, and fishing, which were crucial to their way of life. The reservation's continued legal standing was challenged through court cases, with the Supreme Court affirming Yakama treaty rights. In 1896, the Yakama Nation was in the midst of a decades-long struggle to retain its lands and culture following the establishment of its reservation in 1855. The reservation was established by the Treaty of 1855, but by the late 1800s, U.S. government policies and the encroachment of settlers significantly altered life for the Yakama people. Key events around 1896 Land loss: The Yakama Nation's land was continually lost throughout the late 1800s due to the expansion of railroads, commercial farming interests, and settler populations. Forced assimilation: The U.S. government was actively pursuing a policy of "Americanization" during this period, forcing Native Americans, including the Yakama, to abandon their traditions. Cultural erasure: This era was marked by racist policies aimed at eradicating Yakama traditions and culture. Incentives were offered to adopt Christianity and cut their hair. That reservation was granted to the Yakama in a treaty signed in 1855 by Gov. Isaac Stevens of the Washington Territory and representatives of the Cayuse, Umatilla, Wallawalla, Nez Perce and Yakama tribes. Treaty violations: The 1855 treaty guaranteed Yakama hunting and fishing rights, which the tribe continued to fight for throughout the late 19th and 20th centuries. Governor Isaac Stevens had exacerbated tensions by opening Yakama lands to settlement just weeks after the treaty was signed, leading to the Yakama War (1855–1858).
