boundaries of which they know nothing about. - That the only men of this Nation, who have any rights to the Country claimed by the Nation, which extends from Lake Michigan to the upper part of the Wisconsin River, now sign this paper; not one of whom was present at that treaty; and that as soon as their backs was turned, Some of their men, who had no right to dispose of the land, held the treaty, and whatever consideration was then paid or has since been paid, they know not, having received no portion of the same. That whatever might have been done on that occasion by the Winnebago's, they know not, as they neither speak nor understand their language. - And is an evidence of the fact that they know nothing of that treaty, not one of the old inhabitants of this place was called upon as is usual, to attend at the making of the same - and they are not accustomed to transact so important a business as this would have been without asking their advice -

 They state the same objections to the second or last treaty, which is said to have been held, and their object now is, to, and they do protest against any further settlements being made upon their lands by the Nan-to-ways - "If any more shouts? come here, what shall we do with our wives and children whom we can now scarcely support? We beg of our Great Father to prevent any more of them from coming to this country. - With the Winnebago's we are united by Kindred yet it is with great difficulty that we can live upon terms of Friendship even with them -
 We are satisfied with the settlement made here by the whites, but we cannot admit any nation of Indians to settle in this country.' -
