Kickapoo Forced To Sell Land
On This Day: In 1891 two Kickapoo Chiefs were forced by Secretary of the Interior John W. Noble to sign an agreement selling "surplus lands" to the United States for thirty cents per acre. Along with the two forced signatures, many forgeries and signatures of dead Kickapoo people were added to the "agreement", which Congress approved on March 30, 1893.
