User:Marie emmanuellee/Huntington Treaty (Warm Springs)

The Huntington Treaty (Warm Springs), started on June 25, 1855 and it was a treaty signed and negotiated among two groups, which were the warm spring ancestors and the U.S federal government and their goal was to settle on the lands of Indians to colonise them. In the treaty, they agreed that the Warm Springs Tribes could continue fishing and harvesting food outside their reserve and they had the right to do it in their usual places. The U.S senate approved the treaty in 1859 when the State of Oregon joined the Union. The non-Indian settlers were annoyed because the Warm Springs Tribes continued fishing at their usual place. At that time, the man who was in charge of Indian Affairs was called Perit Huntington and he did his best to keep the tribes away from the non-Indian settlers. In 1865, Huntington did another treaty and the members of the Warm Springs reservation had to sign it.
