- Scope & content
- Petition: introduces the new [Governor?] to their claim of hunting grounds which they define as beginning at Point D'Orignal above Long Sault, on the Ottawa River and following that river to Mattawa thence up the Little River to Lake Nipissing embracing both banks of that river, its Islands, adjacent countries, tributary rivers and creeks from their sources and heights of land that flow down to and empty into the Ottawa River. The Petitioners quote the Royal Proclamation of the 7th October 1763 which was given them by Johnson. States that their old chiefs took pity on a couple of indigent white families and allowed them a piece of land on their hunting grounds and annually the numbers of intruders has grown. Refers to an enclosed report of the Executive Council of Lower Canada dated June 13, 1836 and, sanctioned by a despatch by the Queen dated Aug. 22, 1838. This document is undated, however, they state that they have waited seven long years since the despatch by the Queen. Likely this petition was made in 1845.
