- Scope & content
- Memorandum: (material for construction of reply to questions in the House re Upper Ottawa Indians and their relation to the Garnes Laws) states that "these Indians belong to nomadic Tribes inhabiting the country watered by the Ottawa adjacent to Hudson's Bay territory for whom a reserve was set apart at Lake Temiscamingue, and probably include some of the Tnbes hunting in the territory between the St. Maurice and Gatineau for whom a reserve was set apart at Maniwaki. and they are evidently such members of these Tribes as have not settled down on these Reserves, but have kept moving about or settled on unoccupied Crown land at various points in their hunting districts." Regarding issue as to whether they are Treaty Indians, quotes Report on Indian Affairs submitted to the Legislative Assembly in 1847 (Bagot Commission). "Of these Reserves the several Tribes still 'retain possession, and there is only one section of the country, namely, on the Ottawa, in which the Indians have been dispossessed of their ancient hunting grounds without compensation."' States that no treaties or agreements were made with the Indians of Quebec but their claim to reserves was recognized.
