Half Breed Tract
The Prairie du Chien treaty in 1830 established the 33,000 acre Half Breed Tract, a reservation for the descendants of Frech Canadian Fur Traders and Native American women. It extended from Barn Bluff in Red Wing to the Beef River below Wabasha and 15 miles inland from the Mississippi River.
