 In 1848 , the tribe entered into another treaty with the United States , the Treaty of Lake <unk> , which ceded the tribe 's remaining approximately 4 @,@ 000 @,@ 000 acres ( 1 @,@ 600 @,@ 000 ha ) in exchange for 600 @,@ 000 acres ( 240 @,@ 000 ha ) west of the Mississippi River in present @-@ day Minnesota . This treaty was contingent on the tribe examining the land proposed for them and accepting it as suitable . In 1850 , Chief Oshkosh led a delegation to the Crow Wing area and determined that the land was not suitable for the tribe , mainly because the proposed reservation was located between two warring tribes , the Dakota and Ojibwe . Oshkosh then pressed for a new treaty , stating that he " preferred a home somewhere in Wisconsin , for the poorest region in Wisconsin was better than the Crow Wing . "
