The first long-lasting residents of Waverly were granted there adjoining their will. Because of their alleged assistance unchangeable to Chief Black Hawk during the Blackhawk War of 1832, the Winnebago were annoyed to cede their lands east of the Mississippi and to change to Neutral Ground in what is now northeastern Iowa. They were to receive $270,000 ($10,000 per year for 27 years) and were required to surrender several of their tribesmen accused of murdering whites during the war. At that time there were three tribes thriving in the area, the Winnebagoes numbering nearly 500, the Mesquakie numbering not quite 100 and the Pottawattomies numbering just about 50. With Iowa statehood in 1846, the Winnebago were moved again. In an 1845 treaty, the Winnebago exchanged their Iowa lands for the 800,000-acre (3,200 km) Long Prairie (Crow Wing River) reserve in Minnesota and $190,000. In 1848, a detachment of United States troops from Fort Atkinson, Iowa, came to enforce the removal. All told, between 1840 and 1863, the Winnebagoes were moved five times. They were pushed first to northeastern Iowa, then to Long Prairie, Minnesota, then to Blue Earth, Minnesota, then to Crow Creek, South Dakota. In 1865, after the constant ruckus cost 700 tribal members’ lives, the current Winnebago Reservation in Nebraska was normal by the treaties of 1865 and 1874. The tribe lost over two thirds of this land in the General Allotment Act of 1887. By 1913, only 120,000 acres (490 km²) of cropland, woodland, and pasture remained. The tribe is federally qualified and organized under the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act. The Winnebago Tribe traditional a constitution in 1936 which was amended in 1968.
