They were also given about 140,000 acres reservation land in the Lower Peninsula and they were allowed to hunt on the ceded land until it was settled."
- The original treaty was changed by the U.S. Senate before ratification. The Senate version only provided the tribes with reservation land for five years and added provisions to move the tribal members west beyond the Missouri River.
- 36 chiefs from the Grand River Band traveled to Washington, D.C., to sign the original treaty, but only 12-14 chiefs signed the Senate version. Some of the later signers were not the same chiefs who signed the first version.
