The Nez Perce relinquish the lands previously reserved for their use, and agree to a new reservation, the boundaries of which are described in detail. This new tract "shall be set apart...for the exclusive use and benefit of said tribe as an Indian reservation, nor shall any white man, excepting those in the employment of the Indian department, be permitted to reside upon the said reservation without permission of the tribe..." In exchange for their removal, the tribe is to be paid $262,500, over several years, with portions earmarked for specific purposes, such as erecting schoolhouses, etc. Originally signed Lawyer, Timothy and Jason, but not the recalcitrant Young Chief Joseph.
