Treaty at New York with the Creek Nation

Treaty between the United States and Creek Nation. A clear boundary is established and the Creeks cede all land to the north and east of the boundary in exchange for an annual sum of $1,500 paid by the United States government to the Creek Nation. The Creeks agree to release all prisoners and the United States government permits the Creek Nation to punish any U.S. citizen who trespasses onto their land. The United States declares that no citizen is to hunt on Creek lands and also announces a program to encourage Creeks to become herdsmen and cultivators rather than hunters.
