Biographical History
The Jonathan Carver heirs claimed after his death that the Dakota Indians had granted Carver a tract of some four million acres of land on the east side of the Mississippi River running from St. Paul to the mouth of Wisconsin's Chippewa River and to points east. A grant document or deed signed by chiefs Hawnopawjatin and Otohtongoomlisheaw of the Naudowissee band of Dakota Indians at Carver's Cave at present-day St. Paul on May 1, 1767, is said to have subsequently disappeared. Some scholars question whether or not such a document ever existed, and whether or not there was in fact a land grant to Jonathan Carver, inasmuch as he never mentions it in his Travels through the Interior Parts of North America (1778) nor in his other surviving writings.
