Abstract
It has been said that history, like charity, begins at home. It is the hope of the author that this thesis will preserve a portion of local history for some future historian to enlarge upon. The relation of the government with the Plains Indians is of special interest in the history of the West. This phase of our national growth has been in the past somewhat neglected by historians. Recently there has been a new interest in the history of the West which was started by Fredrick Jackson Turner, and followed by the work of such men as Herbert E. Bolton, Fredrick L. Paxson, and Walter Prescott Webb. Although the Little Arkansas Peace Treaty is only one link in the history of the great westward movement, it is by combining all phases of the movement that we can arrive at logical understanding of the whole problem of frontier history.
