Summary Speeches to the "Chipwas," Sept. 6, 1796, and to the "Ottowas," Sept. 7, 1796, both probably made at Fort Mackinac, Mich., following the British evacuation of the post in compliance with the Jay Treaty.  The talks concern the distribution of annual presents at Detroit by Gen. Wayne as dictated by the Treaty of Greenville, the appointment of Maj. Henry Burbeck to command Fort Mackinac and administer Indian affairs there, the equal administration of justice to Indians and whites, and the upcoming journey of representative chiefs to meet with President Washington. 
Biographical/Historical Note Soldier and territorial administrator. Born in Gloucester, Mass., and educated at Harvard, Sargent served as an artillery officer during the Revolution.  He was appointed surveyor of public lands in the Ohio country in 1786 and a year later was named secretary of the newly-created Northwest Territory.  Sargent served until 1798, acting as territorial governor during much of his tenure.
