- Scope & content
- Petition: requesting control of their lands. Claim that the priests make farms for the whites and leave little land for them. Also state that the wood is being sold by others with the Indians not being allowed to sell any. Claim they are not being given any wood to build houses and so are leaving Lake of Two Mountains. Claim that about 36 years ago the government wanted to build slides on the islands in the Ottawa owned by the Indians and they promised to pay rent on them and have not done so.
