Governor Isaac Stevens sought to end the hostilities in 1854 by negotiating treaties with Native American tribes in Washington Territory. He aimed to secure land cessions for the U.S. government while promising to preserve certain rights for the tribes. By offering compensation and establishing reservations, he attempted to alleviate tensions between the prospectors and the Indigenous populations. His efforts led to the signing of the Treaty of Medicine Creek, which ultimately helped to quell the violence and establish a framework for coexistence.
