Ottawa: Printed By Brown Chamberlin 1891. First Edition of this collection of the actual texts of First Nations treaties land cessions numbered treaties and surrenders relating to land and governance up until 1890 including the names of the signing Crown officials and First Nations representatives. Volume 1 contains an extensive index to the documents in the two volumes arranged alphabetically by First Nation township and the name of the Crown's representative in the transaction. The documents in the book are arranged chronologically. Also included are reproductions of the original maps used in the negotiation of the settlements. A third volume not present here was published in 1912. This is the main reference used by the Canadian government to deny and reject native Canadian land claims completely ignoring the oral tradition of the First Nations and also neglecting to include other important pertinent written accounts including information contained in the records of the Department of Indian Affairs. The documents “do not represent the entire spectrum of Treaties between the Aboriginal people and the Crown's representatives which were supposed to have been signed and negotiated under the Royal Proclamation of 1763 in a public meeting Review Article 141 or assembly held for that specific purpose. The St. Anne Island Treaty of 1796 is a case in point. The Treaty meeting was held at a public gathering on St. Anne Island in Lake St. Clair on August 30 1796. The Crown promised a large Reserve of the size of one Township then 92160 acres as well as free trade border crossing and other rights yet the record of this meeting is not in the Treaties and Surrenders book. There is only the surrender document Surrender #7 dated eight days later which implies erroneously that the Aboriginal people had surrendered or relinquished the land which at the Treaty negotiation they had agreed that they would in fact retain. This example is replicated throughout the history of Canada.†David T.McNab on the Brandon University website. 2 Volumes in 1. pp. 1 p.l. lxii 4 325; 1 p.l. 318. index. 66 plans 39 folding. modern calf. ownership entry of A.Dingman Indian Department Nov. 23rd 1894. elala6117 Ottawa: Printed By Brown Chamberlin, 1891 unknown
