Thanks to John Meyers for this information.
The land Halvor Flaata purchased and farmed in Lac qui Parle County, Minnesota, was, at one time, part of the Lac qui Parle Indian Reservation of the Dakota people (Sioux), which originally included a strip of land running ten miles on either side of the Minnesota River. After a Sioux Indian uprising in 1862, most Sioux tribal members were sent west, and the former reservation was eventually opened to incoming settlers, along with lands covered by the Homestead Act of 1862. On March 6, 1871, the Minnesota legislature authorized the creation of the present Lac qui Parle County, south of the Minnesota River, and local voters approved it.



On October 21, 1874, Halvor went to the Land Office in Benson, Minnesota, to file a claim on 160 acres of former Sioux Indian Land that the U.S. Government had made available for sale as public lands, under the authority of the Cash Entry Act of 1820 (this was not the Homestead Act). His farm had been part of the Sioux Indian Reservation in Minnesota before the Sioux uprising in August 1862. Because of the rebellion, Congress repealed all earlier treaties with the Sioux in February 1863, withdrawing reservations in Minnesota for the Sioux and Winnebago people, forcing them to leave Minnesota. The Greenleaf, Minnesota, land office first published a pre-emption entry on May 18, 1867. Halvor's farm would be the Northwest Quarter of Section 16, Township 119, Range 43, in Lac qui Parle County, Minnesota. He built his house in 1874, and by 1882, he reported having a house, barn, granary, and well on his property. He paid $1.25 per acre for the land (reference Cash File #1172, Sioux Indian pre-emption Certificate). The United States of America, as authorized by President Chester A. Arthur, issued Halvor's completed land patent on December 1, 1882. The money paid for the land was intended to be applied for the benefit of the Sioux people.
