Manuscript DS, seven pages both sides, 8 x 12, 1836. Document begins: “We the Chiefs, warriors, Heads of families, and individuals without families, of the Chippeway [Chippwa] tribe or nation of Indians residing at Flint River, Grand Blanc, Saginaw, Schiawasse & Saline, in the Territory of Michigan do hereby acknowledge to have received in specie of Capt. I. P. Simonton U.S. Army, the sums affixed to our respective names, amounting in all to the sum of one thousand seven hundred and forty seven dollars being in full for our respective proportions of the annuity due the said tribe for the year one thousand eight hundred and thirty six & for which we have signed triplicate receipts.” Part of this first page, and the last page, sets out and deducts money still owed by the Chippeway to one Barnabas Compeau, as allowed and agreed upon by the Treaty of Saginaw, for his expenses and services as provisioner to the Indians of food, clothing, ammunition, and so forth. The balance of this document consists of 5 columns on each page giving names of the Indians, signatures [x, or his x mark], No. in family, Shares, and Amount. Some 275 names are given, broken down into the 5 locations noted above. Families are indicated as being from 1 to 20 members. Most are simply Indian names but some are given in English and Indian, “Pierre Provansal / Ma She Ga Sking,” and “George Moss/ Mon Ga Sa Ba,” and others. Some partial separations along horizontal folds, scattered toning, some minor edge tears, as well as some paper loss to edges, otherwise very good condition.
