Whereas the Government of the United States did, on the third day of July, 1868, make a treaty with the Shoshones and Bannacks, which is now in full force between said parties; and
Whereas a reservation was laid off and surveyed for the Bannack Indians, and those associated with them under such treaty, and known as the Fort Hall reservation;
And whereas, owing to the increase in the country of the white population, and the scarcity of game for the support of the Indians, it has, in the judgment of the United States Government, become important and necessary that the provision of Article 4 of said treaty of July 3, 1868, shall become the subject of a new agreement between said parties.
Article 1.
It is hereby agreed upon the part of all the Indians interested in said Fort Hall reservation, under the provisions of said treaty of 1868, that a portion of said fourth article of said treaty shall, upon the conditions hereinafter stated, be amended as follows:
The "right," as secured to said Indians by said fourth article of said treaty of 1868, "to hunt on the unoccupied lands of the United States," shall be relinquished, and hereafter the privilege of said Indians to hunt off of the reservation shall be under the written permission of the agent.
Article 2.
It is agreed further that no public highway shall pass through or continue in said reservation without the consent of the Secretary of the Interior, that the Secretary of the Interior shall regulate the rates and amount of tolls to be charged on that portion of any toll-road or bridge situated in or running through or into said reservation, and not less than one-fourth of such toll shall be paid over and expended under the order of the Secretary of the Interior to aid said Indians in the pursuits of agriculture.
Article 3.
No person whomsoever other than the Indians entitled to homes on the Fort Hall reservation shall be permitted to pasture, herd, or keep on said reservation any cattle, horses, sheep, mules, or other stock whatever, except the stock necessary for the management of the agency, and such as the Government and officers of the military need; nor shall any hay or grass be cut on or removed from said reservation other than for the use or benefit of said Indians, agency, or military.
Article 4.
It is, however, further agreed that the agent may, by agreement in writing, sell grass, hay, or pasture on said reservation, but without detriment to the Indians. Said written agreement, and an itemized statement of the proceeds of such sales and expenditures thereof, which shall be for the benefit of said Indians, shall be reported to the Indian Department.
Article 5.
It is further agreed that the boundaries of the Fort Hall reservation as now surveyed may, by order of the President, be changed as follows: Beginning at a point on the south line of said reservation due west of a point five miles south of a point where the stage-road from Corinne, Utah, to Helena, Mont., now crosses the main branch of the Port Neuf, (near the toll-gate;) thence due east past said point until it intersects the south or east line of said reservation; thence following the line of the present survey, and continuing the east line of said reservation due north to the center of Snake River; thence down the center of Snake River to the mouth of the Port Neuf; thence with the line of said survey to the place of beginning.
Article 6.
The provisions of the treaty of 1868 not herein altered or amended shall remain valid.
Article 7.
It is hereby especially agreed that no white person shall be permitted to reside on or remain upon said reservation other than those under the employ and pay of the United States, and the families of such persons, except such other white persons as may be permitted in writing by the agent to remain thereon, all of which shall be binding when confirmed by Congress.
Article 8.
When any head of family or lodge shall have set apart to him, and commenced farming under the provisions of articles 6 and 8 of the treaty of 1868, they shall then be entitled to have built upon their land so set apart for them a house under the direction of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and have furnished for him on [sic, or] her a milch cow.
Concluded and signed at Indian agency on Fort Hall reservation November 7, 1873.
