It had none. Pioneers had already squatted on the Indian lands. On August 6 these squatters demanded possession of the Indian huts and fields. Many of the Indians had been induced to plant com. They were told that the government would not sell their land till it was sur« veyed, and that could not be done during the summer of 1838. The Indians refused to give possession and both parties resorted to violence. The fur traders in the region sided with the Indians and advised them to resist the squa...tters. The Catholic priest located at the Twin Lake Mission also advised them that the squatters had no right to demand their land, especially the crop of com which was now raised. A squatter named Waters, it seems, was especially persistent in demanding that the Indians give him pos- session of a quarter section of land he had laid claim to. About the middle of August some Indians bat* tered down his cabin door with an ax. In return the squatters joined together and bumed eight or ten wig- wams.
