Millard Fillmore Document Signed as President, Ratifying a Treaty with the Upper Dakota Sioux Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 8 x 10.5, February 24, 1853. President Fillmore directs the Secretary of State to affix the Seal of the United States to “a Treaty with certain bands of the Sioux or Dakota Indians, ratified by the Senate of the United States on the 23’d June 1852.” Signed at the conclusion by Millard Fillmore. In fine condition, with faint toning to the folds and edges. This document relates to the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux of 1851, an agreement between the Sisseton and Wahpeton bands of Dakota and the U.S. government, which Fillmore ratified a day earlier on February 23, 1853. The treaty, which transferred ownership of much of southern and western Minnesota from the Dakota to the United States, is significant in Minnesota’s history because, along with similar treaties signed that same year, it opened twenty-four million acres of land to immigration. For the Dakota, these treaties marked another step in the process that saw them increasingly marginalized and dismissed from the land that was their home.
