The place today: Missouri River near Niobrara River
we set out early, and about to o’clock met nine of the Yonk-
tin band of the Sioux nation of Indians on the south side of
the river. We halted and gave them some corn, and then pro-
ceeded on with an unfavorable wind. At night we arrived at
our encampment of the 31st of August 1804, where we held
a treaty with a band of the Sioux nation, and encamped for
the night.
