The Red Lake and Pembina bands of Ojibwe sign the Old Crossing treaty, ceding to the US government three million acres of land in the Red River Valley. Senator Alexander Ramsey and Indian Agent Ashley C. Morrill represent the United States; Moose Dung, Crooked Arm, Little Rock, and Little Shell are among the Ojibwe signers. The treaty is named for a ford in the Red Lake River, near Red Lake Falls. A monument would be dedicated at the treaty site, in Huot, in 1933.
