- Scope & content
- Petition: [French with English translation] requesting land to provide for the subsistence of their families. States that he responded to their previous petition by telling them to go and hunt or live on the islands of the Ottawa River. Informs him that they went there to find the islands occupied by others who chased them off, stating that they had better title than the Algonquins and forbade them to hunt or fish there. States they wish to be assured of a place where the bodies of their descendants may rest in peace. Reminds him that the land he governs over once belonged to them and asks that they not be refused a little bit of it on which they may rest.
