Treaty of Bird's Fort
The Treaty of Bird’s Fort, or Bird’s Fort Treaty was a peace treaty between the Republic of Texas and some of the Indian tribes of Texas and Oklahoma, signed on September 29, 1843.〔(Texas State Library and Archives Commission: Bird's Fort Treaty Ratification Proclamation, 1843 )〕 The treaty was intended to end years of hostilities and warfare between the Native Americans and the white settlers in Texas. The full title of the treaty was “Republic of Texas Treaty with the Indigenous Nations of the Delaware, Chickasaw, Waco, Tawakani, Keechi, Caddo, Anadahkah, Ionie, Biloxi, and Cherokee.”〔(Texas Nationalist Movement: Treaty at Birds Fort )〕
==Background==
President of Texas Sam Houston had made it one of his top priorities to end hostilities with the Indians. On July 1, 1842, Houston appointed a commission to “treat with any and all Indians on the Frontiers of Texas.”〔 The Indians were also amenable to a treaty, having lost many of their young men in wars with the whites. In August 1842, the Indians agreed to a peace council to be held at Waco on October 26. The chiefs did not appear for that council, but on March 31, 1843, the chiefs of the nine tribes agreed to a council of peace. The council and the commissioners met six months later and concluded a peace treaty on September 29, 1843.〔 The meeting was held and treaty was signed at Bird’s Fort on the Trinity River at present-day Arlington, Texas.〔http://atlas.thc.state.tx.us/viewform.asp?atlas_num=5439004732&site_name=Bird%27s%20Fort&class=5000〕〔http://atlas.thc.state.tx.us/map/viewform.asp?atlas_num=5439004731〕
The Senate of Texas ratified the treaty on January 31, 1844. President Houston signed the treaty on February 3, 1844 in Washington, Texas.〔
