- Annual Report: reporting that hunt of Indians from River Desert was "very successful" (value of furs was not given). The on-reserve population was reported as 440 persons. In 1887, the Algonquins at the Terniscarning reserve numbered about 200. These people supported themselves "in comfort by hunting and fishing," supplemented in some instances by farming. Some families resided near the Hudson Bay post.
