A treaty signed in Washington, D.C., establishes the White Earth Reservation for the Ojibwe, and the transfer of the Mississippi Ojibwe to the site begins June 14. The leader Bagone-giizhig (Hole-in-the-Day the Younger), wanting no "mixed bloods" on the reservation, tries to block their relocation. Bad relations result from this policy, and Bagone-giizhig is assassinated on June 27, 1868, near his home in Crow Wing.
