after the war, the military began reasserting itself along the frontier. the medicine lodge treaty, signed near present-day medicine lodge, kansas, in 1867, called for two reservations to be set aside in indian territory, one for the comanche and kiowa and one for the southern cheyenne and arapaho. according to the treaty, the government would provide the tribes with housing, agricultural training, and food and other supplies. in exchange, the indians agreed to cease raiding and attacking settlements. dozens of chiefs endorsed the treaty and some tribal members moved voluntarily to the reservations, but it was never officially ratified and several groups of indians still on the plains did not attend the negotiations.
