- Scope & content
- Minutes: 43-page document which discusses game legislation and treaty rights. MacInnes, when held asked what the Indian rights are for taking fur and fish, responded that under the 1850 Robinson Treaty the right to hunt fur on all unoccupied land was reserved absolutely to the Indians. He goes on to say that at that time the need for conservation legislation was not thought of although Indian Affairs never opposed the right of Game & Fisheries but told the Indians that in the interest of conservation they should comply with the regulations. He states that the Indians do have absolute rights to hunt and fish there which would have to be extinguished in some satisfactory Frank manner. He went on to say that under Treaty 9 between the Indians, the Province and the Dominion, the Indians have the right to hunt and trap subject to regulation. He states that recently the natural resources were returned to the Provinces who agreed that the Indians should have the right year and that is the law today. Re question concerning 1923 Williams Treaty, MacInnes stated that they were Chippewa and Mississauga Indians who were not Robinson Treaty Indians. When asked if Robinson Treaty Indians can hunt in Algonquin ParMacInnes responded "unless that is termed Territory' that is occupied". There was further discussion on that point Discussion ensued whether land under timber lease constituted 'occupied' land.
