ame a party to the treaty at Greenville, in 1795. With Tecumseh they gave help to the British in the War of 1812. Afterwards, for many years, until the conclusion of the Black Hawk War, in 1832, there were continual collisions and irritations between the Winnebagoes and white people on the frontiers. They ceded their lands in Wisconsin and became lawless and roving bands. They had reservations (from which they were removed from time to time) on the head-waters of the Mississippi, and, finally, they had begun to plant and show signs of civilization, when the Sioux War broke out, in 1862, and the people of Minnesota demanded their removal. They were disarmed in 1863, and driven into the wilderness on the Mississippi River, Dakota Territory. They were finally settled at the Omaha and Winnebago agency in Nebraska, where, in 1899, they numbered 1,173, and had farms, cottages, and stock; they dressed like white people, and had three schools. There were 1,202 Omahas at the same agency.
