A.D. 1851 | |||
The Fort Laramie Treaty established the territories of the various tribes under Chippewa subjugation. The area where the Wind River Reservation is located is within the territory of the Gros Ventre (the Crow) who are a sub-tribe of the Chippewa's and were the northern Arapahoes. | |||
A.D. 1868 | |||
On July 3, 1868 the Fort Bridger Treaty ended the Snake River War and set aside the Wind RIver Reservation for the Arapaho and other Indians who agreed to live there. | |||
A.D. 1872 | |||
Through a probably shady deal the Brunot Cession further corrupted the tribes living on the Wind River Reservation. Arapaho leaders did not agree to cede the land. | |||
A.D. 1897 | |||
An agreement is reached with the Arapaho in which Arapaho leaders agreed to set aside a 10 sq. mi. area for a tribal park. It is known as the Big Horn Hot Springs State Park. The United States did not honor the agreement with the Arapaho. The park is managed by the State of Wyoming. The corrupted actions of the United States angered Arapaho leaders. | |||
A.D. 1904 | |||
An agreement was reached with non Arapaho leaders in which the Reservation was significantly reduced in size. The non Arapaho leader who signed the agreement was murdered by the Arapaho. The 1904 Wind RIver Reservation Land Act coincides with the United States ratifying the infamous Chippewa 10 cent an acre treaty, or the [[1892 McCumber Agreement]]. | |||
