1844 Isle Royale Agreement
The Isle Royale Agreement is an adhesion to the 1842 Treaty of La Pointe, conducted at La Pointe, Wisconsin Territory on August 20, 1844, with Commissioner Robert Stuart representing the United States. Grand Portage Band was excluded from the 1842 treaty because they were mistakenly though of as being exterior of the United States as the news of signing of the Webster-Ashburton Treaty on August 9, 1842, did not reach the diplomatic corps of either party, officially ending the boundary dispute between Great Britain and the United States, on what now is the Arrowhead Region of Minnesota. The Grand Portage Band was utilizing the resources on Isle Royale as they thought Isle Royale, like themselves, were in British Territory. After boundary clarification showing Grand Portage Band and Isle Royale were both within the United States, Grand Portage Band signed the Isle Royale Agreement as a treaty adhesion, with the 1842 treaty signatories re-affirming the treaty.

Famous quotes containing the words isle and/or agreement:
“It is so rare to meet with a man outdoors who cherishes a worthy thought in his mind, which is independent of the labor of his hands. Behind every man’s busy-ness there should be a level of undisturbed serenity and industry, as within the reef encircling a coral isle there is always an expanse of still water, where the depositions are going on which will finally raise it above the surface.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“That which corrodes the souls of the persecuted is the monstrous inner agreement with the prevailing prejudice against them.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
