In 1824 and 1830, over one hundred thousand acres across Iowa,
Minnesota and Nebraska were set aside as a home for descendants of
Native American women and white traders and trappers. The treaties
that established these so-called Half Breed Tracts left undefined
exactly who held claim to the land, and by the end of the 1850s,
settlers and speculators had appropriated virtually every acre for
themselves. But in an era of ravenous westward expansion, why did
the process of dispossession require three decades of debate and
legal maneuvering? As David Ress argues, the fate of the Half Breed
Tracts complicates longstanding ideas about land tenure and
community in early national America.
