The Fort Laramie Treaty of 1851 was signed on September 17 between United States treaty commissioners and representatives of the Sioux, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Crow, Shoshone, Assiniboine, Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara nations. The U.S. government promised control of the Great Plains which was the bulk of Native American territory. The Indians guaranteed safe passage for settlers on the Oregon Trail in return for promises of an annuity in the amount of fifty thousand dollars annually for fifty years. The Native American nations also allowed roads and forts to be built in its territories. Congress later unilaterally cut appropriations for the treaty to ten years' annuities, and several tribes never received the commodities promised as payments. The treaty produced a brief period of peace. September 17 is the 260th day of the year (261st in leap years). ...

Treaty signing by William T. Sherman and the Sioux at FortLaramie, Wyoming.
The Treaty of FortLaramie was an agreement between the United States and the Lakota nation, signed in 1868 at FortLaramie in the Wyoming Territory, guaranteeing to the Lakota ownership of the Black Hills, and further land and hunting rights in South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana.
The treaty included articles intended to "insure the civilisation" of the Lakota; financial incentives for them to farm land and become competitive - and stipulations that minors should be provided with an "English education" at a "mission building".
FortLaramie National Historic Site, located in present-day Goshen County, Wyoming in the United States, was a significant 19th century trading post and later a military outpost of the United States Army.
Many of the Army's military campaigns in the Indian Wars were conducted from the headquarters at the fort, and it gave its name to two treaties, the Treaty of FortLaramie (1851) and the Treaty of FortLaramie (1868); each was an important agreement between whites and Native Americans regarding white settlement.
The fort is located along the lower Laramie River near is mouth on the North Platte River, across the river the modern town of FortLaramie in Goshen County, Wyoming.
