Term: Ho-Chunk Treaty of 1837
Definition:
Agreement negotiated Nov. 1 at Washington, D.C., under which they ceded all their remaining lands east of the Mississippi and agreed to western removal; in practice, however, so many Ho-Chunk returned to Wisconsin in the following decades that it was never effectively enforced.
