Washington (1831) was a treaty between the Menominee (an American Indian
tribe) and the United States Government. The treaty was initially made
and signed on February 8, 1831 in Washington, D.C.. In the treaty, the
Menominee ceded about 2,500,000 acres (10,100 km2; 3,910 sq mi) of their
land in Wisconsin primarily adjacent to Lake Michigan. During the
ratification of the treaty in June 1832, the United States Senate
modified the treaty to provide additional land for the
Stockbridge-Munsee tribe. The Menominee Tribe did not agree to the
changes, and the treaty was renegotiated on October 27, 1832 to resolve
the differences. These two treaties are commonly referred to singularly
as the Treaty of Washington.
