Indian Boundary
Here the Indian boundary as drawn by the Prairie du Chien Treaty of 1825 crossed the Mississippi. It extended northwest to the Red River and southeast across the St. Croix. To the south was Sioux country, to the north, Chippewa, but neither tribe paid much attention to the line.
Verbatim 1940 text, presented as a historical record, not current interpretation. Minnesota now calls the 1862 conflict the U.S.-Dakota War and has since replaced the wording on some of these signs.
