n 1805 Lt. Zebulon Pike signed a treaty with the “Sioux Nation of Indians” for nine miles of land on either side of the Mississippi River from below the confluence with the Minnesota, north to the Falls of St. Anthony for the “purpose of the establishment of military posts.” The native people retained the rights to “pass, repass, hunt or make other uses of the said districts, as they have formerly done.”

In trade for the land use, the assembled Dakota people received 60 barrels of whiskey and $200 of the promised $200,000. Two of seven Dakota leaders “touched the pen” (signed the treaty). The treaty has never been tested in federal court—until now.

Now three defendants are in U.S. District Court on petty misdemeanor charges of “fail/show permit” or “fail/comply w/off[icer] order/signal.” Their attorney, Larry Leventhal, asked for a formal written complaint.
