Treaty of Fort Gibson

The Treaty of Fort Gibson was an agreement signed in 1833 between the U.S. government and several Native American tribes, primarily the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Seminole. The treaty aimed to establish peaceful relations and define territorial boundaries, often involving the tribes surrendering certain lands to the United States. It also included promises of assistance and negotiations to protect their remaining lands. This treaty was part of broader efforts during that period to relocate Native tribes westward and regulate their territories, shaping the interactions and policies between the U.S. government and Native nations.
