Description
ON JUNE 29, 1905, Duncan Campbell Scott was appointed by the Governor General to represent the Dominion of Canada in the negotiation of James Bay Treaty (Number 9) with the Indians who inhabited the 90,000 square miles of Northern Ontario drained by the Albany and Moose River systems. Cession of Indian title to land further south had taken place in 1850 (Robinson Treaties) and further west in 1873 (Northwest Angle Treaty: Treaty Number 3). To complete his task Scott was to spend two summers paddling and portaging these great rivers. Behind him, he left a record of how he dealt with the Indian people.
