The Jonathan Carver heirs claimed after his death that Naudowissee (Dakota) chiefs Hawnopawjatin and Otohtongoomlisheaw 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 to points east and northeast. A grant document or deed signed by the two chiefs 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.
