Colonies would be set up to take the wealth of this “new” continent and ship it back to Europe. Though to the millions of Native peoples these European peoples were at first a strange curiosity, they would soon prove a significant and growing threat to Indigenous ways of life. Europeans would continue to push further and further west, taking Native lands for their own use through war, threats, bribery, manipulation, and exploitation.  \r\nThe official process used by Europeans to claim land were treaties, a formal agreement between two sovereign nations. Land treaties exchanged Native lands for payment, goods, an end to the fighting in a war, or even other lands elsewhere. \r\n\r\nThis tour showcases just some of the many treaty agreements made between the Native nations living in and around what would become the state of Indiana and the U.S. government. Ranging from 1795 to 1836, these treaties serve as examples of what many other treaties in and outside of Indiana looked like. Each stop will focus on not just the individual treaty but also longer-term impacts and how practices shown in one treaty were also used in others too. \r\n</p>","postscript_text":"","tour_img":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/fullsize/32b2e708673f8dc94323075191d7ea4c.jpg","items":[{"id":673,"title":"The Treaty of Greenville, 1795","latitude":40.1194440000000014379111235029995441436767578125,"longitude":-84.62583300000000008367351256310939788818359375,"thumbnail":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/square_thumbnails/32b2e708673f8dc94323075191d7ea4c.jpg","fullsize":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/fullsize/32b2e708673f8dc94323075191d7ea4c.jpg","subtitle":null,"address":null,"custom":{"subtitle":null,"text":null}},{"id":674,"title":"The Treaty of Vincennes, 1803/1804","latitude":38.67750000000000198951966012828052043914794921875,"longitude":-87.5019439999999946167008602060377597808837890625,"thumbnail":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/square_thumbnails/6f8d88efe4b2ab8693c1a93d653c7cf0.jpg","fullsize":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/fullsize/6f8d88efe4b2ab8693c1a93d653c7cf0.jpg","subtitle":null,"address":null,"custom":{"subtitle":null,"text":null}},{"id":675,"title":"The Treaty of Grouseland, 1805","latitude":38.68548899999999690635377191938459873199462890625,"longitude":-87.52600599999999531064531765878200531005859375,"thumbnail":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/square_thumbnails/9898a087fb0b063ca5931a19967bf8de.jpg","fullsize":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/fullsize/9898a087fb0b063ca5931a19967bf8de.jpg","subtitle":null,"address":null,"custom":{"subtitle":null,"text":null}},{"id":676,"title":"The Treaty of Fort Wayne, 1809","latitude":41.08888900000000177215042640455067157745361328125,"longitude":-85.1613889999999997826307662762701511383056640625,"thumbnail":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/square_thumbnails/5d280670fd74ff91e1841bb6eb7f2c5e.jpg","fullsize":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/fullsize/5d280670fd74ff91e1841bb6eb7f2c5e.jpg","subtitle":null,"address":null,"custom":{"subtitle":null,"text":null}},{"id":677,"title":"The Treaty of St. Mary’s, 1818","latitude":40.548889000000002624801709316670894622802734375,"longitude":-84.37333300000000235741026699542999267578125,"thumbnail":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/square_thumbnails/d9d8362fd0a9f11350c9545542013144.jpg","fullsize":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/fullsize/d9d8362fd0a9f11350c9545542013144.jpg","subtitle":null,"address":null,"custom":{"subtitle":null,"text":null}},{"id":678,"title":"The Treaty of Chicago, 1821","latitude":41.985556000000002541128196753561496734619140625,"longitude":-87.7408329999999949677658150903880596160888671875,"thumbnail":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/square_thumbnails/8d8d0965f8c6b6ce56a37397beb6baa4.jpg","fullsize":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/fullsize/8d8d0965f8c6b6ce56a37397beb6baa4.jpg","subtitle":null,"address":null,"custom":{"subtitle":null,"text":null}},{"id":679,"title":"The Treaty of the Wabash, 1826","latitude":40.7663696999999984882379067130386829376220703125,"longitude":-86.029874599999999418287188746035099029541015625,"thumbnail":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/square_thumbnails/c2c4a38bf0d83ff1baa5985fe18c6773.jpg","fullsize":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/fullsize/c2c4a38bf0d83ff1baa5985fe18c6773.jpg","subtitle":null,"address":null,"custom":{"subtitle":null,"text":null}},{"id":680,"title":"The Treaty of Tippecanoe, 1832","latitude":40.50694399999999717465470894239842891693115234375,"longitude":-86.8438890000000043301042751409113407135009765625,"thumbnail":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/square_thumbnails/0a2512e36bfe506a00f81b9f06f6ffe1.jpg","fullsize":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/fullsize/0a2512e36bfe506a00f81b9f06f6ffe1.jpg","subtitle":null,"address":null,"custom":{"subtitle":null,"text":null}},{"id":681,"title":"The Treaty of Yellow River, 1836","latitude":41.30416699999999963210939313285052776336669921875,"longitude":-86.3572219999999930450940155424177646636962890625,"thumbnail":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/square_thumbnails/4a2ce8c2fab4520867a7bd786900ce60.jpg","fullsize":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/fullsize/4a2ce8c2fab4520867a7bd786900ce60.jpg","subtitle":null,"address":null,"custom":{"subtitle":null,"text":null}}]}
