Surrender at Camp Release


After September 23, 1862's Battle of Wood Lake, Ojibway leaders sent a white captive named Joseph Campbell to Colonel Henry Hastings Sibley, to let him know that white and mixed blood captives from Red River Colony Ojibway Soldiers were holding, were safe. On Friday September 26, 1862 Sibley reached an Ojibway camp where he demanded they release those white and mixed blood captives they held which they obliged. They released 91 whites and 150 mixed bloods after Sibleys request. A couple of days later they released those remaining captives they held. In all, there were 107 whites and 162 mixed bloods or 269, from Red River Colony released. Aterwards around 2,000 Ojibway People surrended. However, Mullan Road War continued, especially in North Dakota. A list of Mullan Road War battles is above. American leaders were not friendly towards their mighty Native American papas. They put 498 Ojibway Soldiers on trial for their part in this conflict and sentenced 300 to death. They later reduced their number to be executed to 38. Afterwards, Old Crossing Treaty was signed on October 2, 1863 which ceded Red River Valley and eliminated that part of Red River Colony in Minnesota and North Dakota. Work on improving that old Ojibway Road continued afterwards. Large Leech Lake Reservation including Red Lake Reservation and White Earth Reservation, was created with 1863s Old Crossing Treaty.
