There are two Treaties of Indian Springs with the Creek Indians. The first treaty was signed January 8, 1821. In it, the Lower Creek ceded land to the state of Georgia in return for cash payments totaling $200,000 over a period of 14 years. The state of Georgia was to receive payment from the Federal Government, to satisfy claims of citizens of Georgia against the Creek for seizure or destruction of property prior new to the 1802 act of Congress that regulated relations with Indian tribes.
