REPORT OF THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT GENERAL

Hon. C nARi.E.s Stf.wart,

Superiutc-iidf nt General of Indinn AiTairs,

Ottawa.

Sir.—I have the honour to suhniit the repoit of the Depavtmoiit of Indian Affairs

for the year ended .March 31. If>i2.

Last year we published in the reporc a short liistory of the departruent. This

year, as an appropriate sequence, we submit the following brief historical account

of the treaty relations of the British and Canadian Governments with the Indic.ns,

from the earliest times down to the present date. This si:bje>:!t is considered tim&ly

as the past year has seen the oompletion of p-'.bably the last treaty that will be

entered into with Canadian Indian;, Treaty No. 11 covering the MaeKenzic Uiver

District and surroundiusr parts.

OUR rXDT.W TKK.YTIES

From the time ot" the first British rettlen:ei.t in New KngianJ, the title of the

Indians to land.s oceLi|)ied by them was concedsd and compensation w.is itade io then;

for th? surrender of their huntinir gvound-. The Crown has always reserved to itself

the exclusive rig'ht to treat with the Indians for the surrender of. their lands, and

this rule, v/hich 'was conhrmed by th-i' Eoyal Pmelamatioa of October 7, 1703, ii

still adhered to. .

In 1(370, durin;? the reigu of Cliarle? IT, instiuctions were given to the iovcTEi^- s

of the colonies, which, amonir other matters, directed tliat Indians who desired to

place then^^elvcs under tlie Eriti-h should be well received and prcVeted.

For nearly a century tl'e Indians r,jo,=t intimately as.-^,ociated with the Engl:.-?h

were the Five Nations, llvim^ in wtiat is now the state of New York. These were

known a:? the Iroquois Leagrue ' and at fir.?; corrsprised the Mi.-hawks, Oueidas,

Csyugas, Oaondagas and Seiiacas. In 1715 the Tusoaroras frora North Carolina

were admitted to this league, whioh fiou? thit time has been known as the "SisNations ''.

Tliere are srill of r.-corii nuuierous agreements and treaties;., dating back as fa?

as the year 16iU and made by thi, British with the Indians of New Enjrland, while

Canada was still under French Government.

Viilik'? the British, the French did not admit that the Indians iutd an.\ tiflo to

lands but claimed them for the Crown by right of discoverj- and conquest, Kestrve?

were, however, set apart from time to time for the use of the Indians and tbtse wrrecoclirmed by the British in Article XL of the Articles of Capitulation sijfned st

Montreal on September 8, 1760, which reads, in part, as fellows:

'* The Savages or Indian Allies cf his most Christian Majesry, sh.>ll be

maintained in the lands they inhabit, if they choose to remain there: they shall

not be molested on any pretence whatsoever, for having carried arms an<' served

his most Christain Majesty."

13 GtOPGE V. A. 1923

In later years other reserves were set apart for Indians in the province cf Quebec

under authority of an Act of the province of Canada dated August 30, 1S51 (14 & 15

Victoria, Cap. 106).

MARITIME PROVIKCES

Two of the reserves in Prince Edward Island were grants from private owners and

the third wis purchased by the Doruiiiion Govornmeut for the Indians. In New Bruns-

wick and Xova Scotia some reserves were set apart by the Provincial Govemmc-nts

before Confederation and others have been puVcLased for the use of the Indians by the

Dominion Government since that date.

ONTARIO

Practically the wliole of Upper Canada was surrendered to the Crown by treaties

inadt by the Government with the Indians, reserves of sulHeient e.xteut being sot apart

for their use at points chosen by the Indians. In addition to the indigenous tribes,

it was necessary to provide lands for 'he Six Xations Indians who come to Canadaafter the American revolution to conipen.iatc them for the loss of their lands in the

Mohawk Valley. Reserves were set aside for them on the Bay of Quiute and on the

Grand river.

Up to the year 1S18 the compensation fcr the lands, whether in goods or money,

was paid to the Indians at the time of treaty but since that date it iias taken the form

of an annuity.

Previous to the year 1529, the custom wa< to pay these annuities in sroods of the

same description a' the annual present*, by v.hich practice the Indians, having already

received an adequate supply of- clothing, had a strong inducement to dispose of the

remainder for any object of more immediate want or attraction, among which liquor

ranked foremost,

la 1S29, Sir 'John Colborne, being desirous of checking the cils of this system

and to promo'e the settlement and civilization of the Indians, obtained permission from

the .Secretary of State to apply the anuunities towards building houses and purchasing

agricultural implements and stock for .-aueh members of the several tribes, interested

in the payments, as were disposed to settle in the province; and from that time the

issue of goods in payment of r.nnuities ceased. The chiinge seems at Ar-A to have been

unwillingly adopted by the Indians but was later generally approved of. Within two

or thr^-e years the settlements at Coldwater the Narrows, St. Clair and iluneeytown

were established by means of these funds and later several other settlements were

formed or enlarged

In consequence of this change it became necessary to credit each band, yearly."

with the amount of its annuity and to di'-ect the e.xpenditure of the money for its

benefit. This has led to the admission of tlie Indians to a voice in the disbursement

of their funds. The Government has* not ab.indoned control but still exercises a

restraint on improvident or improper e.'cpenditure and directs undertakings for th.eir

advantage, but the general practice is for tht Indians to determine among themselves

how the money is to be spent, sending a resolution of their council to the departmentcovering each item.

There have heezi many surrenders of lands for the puriwse of sale or lease, the

proceeds of which are placed to the credit of the Indians, and there have been others

for railway purposes, roads, churches, schools, etc.. but the principal surrenders weremade under Treaty and cover practicailly the whole province.

HEALTH SUPERVISION

The health of the Indians has been normal during the past year. The depart-

ment provides medical attention for the Indian bands in all parts of the Dominion,

and all possible effort is being made to preserve and improve the physical wellbeing

of the native races.

Recently there has been i naugurated a policy with a view to better medical

and prophylactic supervision for the western Indians. Within the last few

months there have been appointed a number of travelling nurses whose duty

it is to inspect the Indian schools and to go about among the homes on the

reserves giving assistance and advice. These nurses work in co-operation with the

Indian agents and departmental medical attendants, and much is being accomplished

in the way of improving the health conditions of the Indians. Simple talks on

sanitation, diet, and home-making are given, and many of the Indian women grate-

fully accept the advice of tlie nurses regarding the care of their children. Thoroughexaminations are made and treatments given when required. One great drawback is

the fact that the older Tndiaiis are inclined to place their faith in the Indian medicine

men. and refuse treatment by white doctors. This difficulty, however, is being

graduall.v overcome, and it is found that the hospitals which are maintained on

various Reserves are becoming more freely used by the Indian people.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT-GENERAL 15

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 14

Tuberculosis has always been one of the greatest enemies of the Indians. Theeducational work now being carried on should have great effect in lessening the

ravages of this disease. Not only are the Indians being instructed on questions of

health by the nurses who jieriodieall.v visit the reserves, but they are given continuous

advice, assistance and treatment by field matrons employed by the department for their

benefit. In addition to their duties as nurses, these field matrons are endeavouring

to encourage the Indian women and girls to make their homes more like those of

white {X'ople. Instead of thinking onl.v of daily needs, they are being taught to

provide for the future: for instance, they are instructed in methods of canning fruit

and vegetables for the winter months, and they arc encouraged to cultivate gardens,

the department supplying the neces^iary seed. It is felt that by sucTi simple instruc-

tion in the art of living, coupled with the care given by the Indian agents and medical

attendants, the health of the Indian people is being materially improved.

AMITXnMK.VTS TO TITE I.KDIAN ACT

The provisions respecting the enfranchisement of Indians were modified so as to

place the initiative with the Indian concerned by the following amendment:

Till' Indian Act fcUowimj Amendment

:

—" 107 (l) U]Xin the aiiplicatioii of an Indian of any hand (ir ujion the

application of a hand on a vote of a majority of the male members of suchband of the full age of twenty-one years at a meeting or council thereof

the presence of the Superintendent General or of an officer duly authorizedto attend such council, by the Governor in Council or by the SuperintendentGeneral, a Board may be appointed by the Superintendent General to consist

of two officers of the Department of Indian Affairs and a memher of theband to which the Indian or Indians under investigation belongs, to makeinquiry and report as to the fitness of any Indian or Indians to he enfranchised.The Indian member of the Board shall be nominated by the council of theband, within thirty days after the date of notice having been given to thecouncil, and in default of such noniinatien, the appointment shall be madeby the Superintendent General. lb the course of such inquiry it shall be theduty of the Board to take into consideration and report upon the attitude ofany such Indian towards his enfranchisement, which attitude shall be a factorin determining the question of fitness. Such report shall contain a descriptionof the land, occupied by each Indian, the amount thereof and the improvementsthereon, the names, ages and sex of every Indian whose interests it is anticipatedwill be affected, and such other information as the Superintendent Generalmay direct such Board to obtain."

INDIAN SOLDIER SETTLEMENT

Part III of the Indian Act passed at the Session of 1919 confers upon the DeputySuperintendent General all the powers of the Soldiers' Settlement Board in dealingwith Indian returned soldier settlers.

In purchasing a location on a reserve for an Indian returned soldier settler, theDeputy Suivrintendeiit General acquires for such settler merely the improvementsand usufructuary interest, the land itself remaining part of the common property of

the band, from which it cannot be alienated, except as provided by the Indian Act.In other words, the'department, as a matter of law and quite apart from any considera-tions nf policy, cannot ai-i|uire or convey the fee tQ lands on a reserve.

16 DEPARTMENT OF INDIAN AFFAIRS

13 GEORGE V, A. 1923

The veAiage of the statute, however, was not suflSciently full on these points, and

in consequence considerable alarm was occasioned among the Indians, who feared that

tho band title to the lands might be prejudicially affected. In order to allay these

misgivings, the verbiage has been amplified and clarified by the following amendmentof 1922:—

The Indian Act as amended, 19S2:—"197. The Deputy Superintendent General may acquire, fof a settler who

is an Indian, land as well without as within an Indian reserve, and shall have

authority to set apart for such settler a portion of the common lands of the

band without the consent of the Council of the band. In the event of land

being so acquired or set apart on an Indian reserve, the Deputy Superintendent

General shall have power to take the said land as security for any advances madeto such settler, and the provisions of the Soldier Settlement Act, 1919, shall,

as far as applicable, apply to such transactions. It shall, however, be only the

individual Indian interest in such lands that is being acquired or given as

security, and the interest of the band in such lands shall not be. in any wayafFected by such transactions."

The Section repealed:—"197. The Deputy Superintendent General may acquire for a settler who

is an Indian, land as well without as within an Indian reserve, and shall have

authority to grant to such settler a location ticket for common lands of the

band without the consent of the council of the band, and, in the event of land

being acquired or provided for such settler in an Indian reserve, the DeputySuperintendent General shall have power to take security as provided by the

Soldier Settlement Act, 1919, and to exercise all otherwise lawful rights and

powers with resiject to such lands notwithstanding any provisions of the Indian

Act to the contrary."

INDIAN SOLDIER SETTLEMENT

The work in connection with the Indian Soldier Settlement during the past year

has been more to consolidate and establish on a firm basis those loans already made,

rather than making new loans. Great care has been exercised in granting loans as

is evidenced by the fact that while 361 applications for loans have been received only

190 loans have been approved, and the settlers are meeting their obligations quite

satisfactorily.

The total amount expended to March 31, 1922, amounts to $368,117.54, made upas follows:

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT-GENERAL 17

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 14

The season of 1921 was a particularly poor year for farmers, and the Indian

settlers found it discouraging work, but have persevered and this year promises to

repay them for their efforts during the trying circumstances of the past.

The failure of last year's crops necessitated the furnishing of a large quantity of

seed and feed this spring, but the encouraging outlook and the confidence displayed

by the Indians augurs well for the success of the Indian farmers.

A new and more efficient system of accounting in connection with the Soldier

Settlement work was inaugurated with the transfer of the work to the Accountants'

Branch in February last.

EECORDS BEANCH

The keeping of the records in this department is a work of special importance,

particularly in view of the mass of interesting and valuable historical documents andpapers that have accumulated on the files since the first Indian office was established

more than one hundred and fifty years ago.

In the very early days there was no registration system of any kind. Letters were

received and answered, folded and put away in bundles in order of date. Sometimesthere was a draft of a reply and sometimes a note on the letter that a reply had been

sent on such a date but that was all.

At the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century the

department was divided, the office of the Superintendent General and the secretary

being at Montreal and that of the Deputy Superintendent General and the assistant

secretary at Fort George (Niagara).

Hero at Niagara is the first mention of a records room, in a complaint made in

the year ISOO that it had no desk, no shelf and no fuel.

During the war of 1812-14 the Indian records were, for safekeeping, transferred

from Niagara, on the frontier, to York, but on the 27th of April, 1813, the Americansraided York; all the papers were taken and no account has since been had of them.

Following the abolition of the office of Superintendent General in 1828 the secre-

tary of the department was moved from Montreal to Quebec in 1830 and back to

Montreal in 1840.

Tliis division of the department, the moving of its offices and the changes of

administration—sometimes under civil govoninient and sometimes under military

control, now under the Governor General's secretary, now under the Crown LandsDepartment and now under the Secretary of State, has left confusion in the mass of

records.

*':r John Johnson was appointed Superintendent General of Indian Affairs in

1TS2, >jut up to the year 1821 there had been no letter book or letter register kept in

his office at Montreal.

The present series of letter books commenced in 1829 and a few of the earlier

volumes are not indexed.

A commission was appointed to " investigate into the business, conduct andorganization of the various public departments of the province of Upper Canada" andamong other recommendations in their report, dated the 1st of February, 1840, weread :

"Your Committee suggests that in the conduct of his office, the Chief

Superintendent should be oMiged to keep

"1st. A Book in which shall be entered all the correspondence of the depart-

ment, with an 'alphabetical index.''

This was the origin of our letter registers.

18 DEPARTMENT OF INDIAN AFFAIRS

13 GEORGE V, A. 1923

At first each letter was registered and filed separately. Then, for convenience,letters on the same subject were tied together and a note made in the register to that

effect.

Tlie present system of having all letters on each subject with the draft replies

placed in order of date on one file with an endorsed back, first came into use about 1870.

During the past year there were received and registered about 71,668 letters,

vouchers and returns and there were about 23,600 letters and telegrams sent out.

These figures, of course, do not include circular letters, acknowledgements, chequeletters or receipts. There were 1,212 registered letters and 1 460 unregistered moneyletters received.

In addition to this there have been numerous searches made during the year,

among the old records both in the department and in the Public Archives, necessitated

by request for historical data and for the settlement of claims and disputes.

EDUCATIOX

A total of 321 Indian schools, of all classes, were in operation during the year,

namely, 250 day, 55 boarding and 16 industrial. In the tabular statements, in part

II of this report, will be found a list of these schools, giving the reserve, agencyand province and the enrolment in each case.

As compared with the previous year, there is a decrease of three day schools andthree boarding schools, and an increase of one industrial school. In the boarding

school class, the Port Simpson Girls' Home and the Sarcee Boarding School wereclosed, the former having been burnt and not yet rebuilt, and the latter is now being

used for hospital purposes. A new industrial school was erected at Fraser Lake,which rejjlaces the boarding school formerly conducted at Stuart Lake, which latter

has been closed. Several day schools were closed owing to lack of attendance or

inability to secure teachers, while several schools in this class, which had been closed

for some time, were reopened, and new schools started at several points.

The total enrolment for the year was 13,021 pupils; 6,605 boys and 6,416 girls.

This, as compared with the preceding year, shows an increased enrolment of 463 pupils.

There was an enrolment of 7,990 in the day schools, 3,234 in the boarding schools and

1,798 in the industrial schools.

The average attendance during the year at these three classes of schools was 8,664,

which is slightly less than that for the preceding year, when it was 8,723.

The percentage of attendance of the number enrolled during the year was 66.46,

a decrease of 3 per cent.

In addition to the above there are about 130 Indian children, the greater numberof whom are orphans, being provided for and educated in public and private residential

schools throughout the Dominion, besides a number who are attending high schools.

The 321 schools, comprising day, boarding and industrial, in operation during the

year, were conducted under the following auspices: Undenominational, 50 day and1 industrial; Roman Catholic, 85 day, 32 boarding and 9 industrial; Church of

England, 70 day, 15 boarding and 3 industrial; Methodist, 40 day, 1 boarding and 3

industrial ; Presbyterian, 4 day and 7 boarding, and the Salvation Army, 1 day school.

Qualified teachers with professional training are engaged whenever it is possible

to obtain them. In the older settled portions of the different provinces, the greater

number of the teachers are so qualified. In the schools situated on the more remote

reserves, it is difiicult to secure teachers with certificates. Many of our teachers whohave not professional qualifications have, however, long experience and are meeting

with a great measure of success in Indian school work.

The Indian schools in Ontario, Quebec, Xova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are

inspected semi-annually by the provincial, separate and public school inspectors under

anaiigoments with the Department of Education of each province. In New Brunswick

and British Columbia, Indian schools are inspected by officials appointed by the

department. Arrangements have recently been completed with the Provincial De-

partments of Education for the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta to

utilize the services of their school inspectors in inspecting Indian schools. In addition

to this inspection, the schools are under the supervision of the difFt'rent Indian agents,

who are required to make regular inspections and reports.

The course of study is that prescribed for the provincial public and separate

schools of the province in which the Indian schools are located, and is strictly followed.

Our school buildings, in most eases, compare favourably with white school.'^

similarly situated, also in the work performed in the classroom and in the equipment

provided.

New modern, up-to-date and thoroughly equipped buildings were completed during

the year, as follows: An industrial school ^vith accommodation for 150 children at

Eraser Lake, B.C., boarding schools with accommodation for 80 children each at

Sechelt, B.C., and Gordon's Reserve, Saskatchewan. The erection of a new building

was commenced at the Coqualeetza Institiite, Sardis, B.C.

There is land for farming and gardening purposes provided at practically all the

residential schools. The pupils are ihus enabled to receive a general knowledge of

agriculture which should be of great benefit to them after leaving school.

The granting of assistance to graduates to encourage farming has been main-tained. Upon leaving school a male e.\-pupil may be given a grant of cattle, horsas,

implements or building material. A female ex-pupil may be given a sewing machineor household equipment. During the past year a number of girls and boys, ex-pupils,

have been assisted to the extent of $3,288.69.

The expenditure for Indian education from parliamentary appropriation duringthe year amounted to $1,363,419.71. The following statement will show the expendi-ture for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1922, for Indian educatioji from parliamentaryappropriation :

TIMBER

Lumbering operations on Indian Reserves in the Dominion during the license

year 1921-22 were not carried on to so large an extent as during the previous yearwith the exception of certain reserves in the province of British Columbia.

In Eastern Canada the cut was approximately 40 per cent lower than during theyear 1920-21, but the total cut throughout the Dominion was somewhat larger owingto the fact that return of the cut of yellow pine, and British Columbia spruce andcedar was 400 per cent greater than the previous year.

The general conditions in the lumber trade were so discouraging last year in

Eastern Canada, that very little activity was evident, and consequently it was foundnecessary to renew several licenses under the non-working clause.

The quantity of timber cut on Indian Reserves during the year, both underlicense and under permit was as follows:

f.b.m.

Elm 167,865Birch 387,947Oak.. 4,224

54,076393,510115.12211,852 cords18,231

32,830 cu. ft.

31,861Posts 5,569

2,603

The total quantity of timber cut for sale in terms of hoard measure feet wasapproximately sixty-five million and in addition to this quantity, the Indians them-

selves cut approximately nine million f.b.m. of timber for building and fencing

purposes and 18,000 cords of fuel for domestic use, besides an unreported quantity

of material for the native manufacture of snowshoes, axe-handles, hockey sticks andbaskets.

The sale of standing timber on Reserves was discouraged as prices were very

low and it was considered advisable in the Indian interest to withhold the disposal

of timber until such time as prices have attained a more normal level. However,in certain instances where the Indians petitioned the Department to be allowed to

sell their timber so as to relieve their iromediate necessities, sales were made in

conformity with the regulations. These were as follows:

Part Rama Reserve $ 600 plus dues.Kwatlena Reserve 400 deposit plus royaltj'.Shoal Lake Reserve No. 28A 8,000 bonus plus dues.Point Maniwaki Reserve 800 bonus plus dues.Point Parry Island Reserve 1,000 deposit plus royalty.

Total $10,800

Cash receipts during the year were:

Bonuses and deposits $ 52,700 00Timber dues (license) 65,393 €2Timber dues (permit) 9,474 88Ground rents and tees 2,998 45Interest charges 9,433 25Trespass dues 946 38

Total $140,946 68

There were forty-five timber licenses current on April 30, 192l'. being five movethan the previous year, eleven new licenses having been issued and six old licenses

cancelled or relinquished.

Estimates of timber on seven reserves were compiled in the course of the usual

administrative work and this data has been added to the record of the natural resources

of the Indians which is in course of preparation.

Forest conservation, comprising the disposal of slash, the elimination of fire-

hazards, the closer utilization of timber, the salvage of diseased, infested or fire-killed

timber and adequate forest protection was carried out on many Keserves and the

Indians encouraged in every possible way to make their lumbering operations con-

stitute the initial step toward the clearing of the land for cultivation.

Compensation to the extent of $12,500 was collected from the Granby Company,B.C., for the destruction of timber on certain reserves of the Kincolith band, due to

the action of sulphur fuinos emanating from the smelter at Anyox, and measures weretaken to ensure that the Indians of the Mattagami reserve, Ont., did not suffer anyloss owing to the flooding of the shore line of their reserve by the raising of the waterlevel due to the construction of the Kenogamisee dam by the Northern Canada PowerCompany.

As a measurre of relief to many of the Indians, and to enable them to tide over

the period of unemployment, the department waived the collection of dues on timber

cut under permit, and in one instance—Restigouchc Reserve, Que.—the departmentundertook to provide employment, by purchasing the pulpwood cut by the Indians,

with the view of holding the same until the condition of the market would warrant a

profitable sale.

Distribution of moneys which have accrued from the sales of timber during the

period of high prices, was made to several Indian bands so as to assist them to improvetheir condition, the sum of $19,050 having been expended in this manner.

SUMMARY OF INDIAN AFFAIRS IN THE VARIOUS PROVINCES BASEDON THE REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT'S AOENTS AND THEINSPECTORS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 1922.

The local administration of the Indian lands, on the reserves scattered throughout

the Dominion, is conducted through the department's agencies, of which there are

in all 114. The number of bands included in the agency varies from one to morethan thirty. The staff of an agency usually includes various officers in addition to

the agent, such as the medical officer, clerk, farm instructor, field matron, constable,

stockman, etc., according to the special requirements of the agency in question. Atmany of the smaller agencies in the older provinces, where the Indians arc moreadvanced, the work is comparativcl,y light, requiring only the services of an agent.

The work of the agencies is supervised by the department's inspectors, each inspector

having charge of a certain number of agencies.

26 DEPARTMENT OF INDIAN AFFAIRS

13 GEORGE V, A. 1923

ONTARIO

Agencies.—The following agencies are included in tlie province of Ontario:Alnwick, Bay of Quinte, Cape Croker, Chapleau, Chippewas, Munsees, and Oneidasof the Thames, Christian Island, Fort Frances, Georgian and Snake Islands, GoldenLake, Gore Bay, Kenora, Lake Superior (Eastern and Western Divisions), Mani-towaning, Missassaguas of the Credit, Moravians of the Thames, Parry Sound, Rama,Rice and Mud Lakes, Sarnia, Saugeen, Seugog, Six Nations, Sturgeon Falls, Thessalon,

and Walpole Island.

Tribal Origin.—The great majority of the Indians of Ontario are Ojihwas, andare of Algonkin stock. The Oneidas of the Thames, the Mohawks of the Bay of

Quinte, the Mohawks of the Parry Sound district, and the Six Nations of Brantford

are of Iroquoian stock. There is a band of Pottawattamies at Walpole island, andDelawavcs at the Caradoc agency; these are of Algonkin stock.

Occupations.—The Indians in the western and central parts of Ontario engage

largely in farming. The reserves, generally, are well suited to this purpose and the

activity of the department's field agents has resulted in a steady improvement both

in the methods of operation and the results achieved. The success achieved by the

returned soldiers of this province has been especially creditable and are rai)idly

developing prosperous communities.

During the summer months Indians find a profitable source of income as guides

and canoe-men. Many are employed at various industries and trades while railway

and navigation comi^anies employ a large number. As a rule they are excellent

bushmen and many find omplojTnent in the various lumber camps. There is still anexcellent market for snowshoes, canoes and moccasins and these are usually manu-factiu-ed by the other members of the community.

The women also have many sources of income; some are employed as domestics;

others support themselves by making baskets and fancy work. In certain districts

berry-picking is an important item and furnishes considerable income.

Heitltli.—The health of the Indians of Ontario has been good during the past

year. While tuberculosis is still their worst enemy the efforts of the department for

the past decade have borne fr^iit and this disease is noticeably less than in previous

years.

Dwellings.—A great majority of the Ontario Indians liave comfortable farmhouses

which compare very favourably with those of their white neighbours. Many ownhouses of brick and stone, but in the outlying and more remote districts the old log

houses are in the majority. In the more settled districts the Indians have followed

the example of the whites and both houses and farm buildings are comfortable and of

excellent construction.

New Ontario.—In the remote parts of Ontario hunting and fishing are still the

chief sources of livelihood. While fur has been vei-y scarce the price has been

correspondingly high. Fishing, however, has not been as successful this year owingto the scarcity of the market and the low prices. Acting as guides and canoe-menduring the summer months adds considerably to their income. While agriculture

is not carried on to any extent most of the bands grow considerable crops of

potatoes and vegetables. They are, of necessity, more or less nomadic and conse-

sequently live in tents most of the year. This condition will greatly change as

civilization progresses.

Their health has been generally good, although somewhat subject to tuberculosis.

QUEBEC

Agencies.—The following agencies are included in the province of Quebec:

Becancour, Bersimis, Caugbnawaga, Lake St. Jolm, Lorette, Maria, Mingan, Oka,

River Desert, Restigouche, Seven Islands, St. Regis, Timiskaming and Viger.

Page 31: Annual Report of the Department of Indian Affairs, for the year ......13GEORGEV SESSIONALPAPERNo.14 A.1923 CONTENTS PART I Page OurIndianTreaties 7 HealthSupervision.. 14 Amendmen>cstotheIndianAct

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT-GENERAL 27

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 14

Tribal Origin.—The principle tribes found in Quebec are: Iroquois at Cauglina-

waga, lake of Two Mountains, and St. R^is; the Hurons of Lorette are also of

Iroquoian stock; the Montagnais, who are also of Algonkin stock, at Bersimis,

MLngan, lake St. John, Seven Islands; the Abenakis, also of Algonkin stock, at

Becancour and St. Francis; the Micmacs, also of Algonkin stock, at Maria andEistigouehe; and the Maleeites, also of Algonkin stock, at Viger.

In the agricultural districts of the province the Indians are developing a keenerinterest in farming ojieratitins and are making a decided success. In the Gaspepeninsula the Indians lind employment in the lumber camps and mills, but on tho

north shore of the gulf lishing, hunting and trapping are still the principle sources

of income. In the northern part of the province lumbering is the chief pursuit.

One of the principle industries of the Indians of Quebec is making baskets, and manyof the Indians spend the summer months at the resorts in order to dispose of the

baskets, lacrosse sticks, racquets, moccasins, etc., to the tourists. Some of them,particularly in the Saguenay districts, act as guides and canoe-men.

Jlealth.—On the whole, the health of the Indians of Quebec has been good duringthe part year.

Dwellings.—In the older settled districts of the province the Indians own manvexcellent stone and brick houses. Generally speaking, the buildings are almost all

of good construction, comfortable and sanitary. In the more remote districts, wherehunting and trapping are still the principle occupations, the Indians necessarily live

in tents during the greater part of tlie year.

The North Shore.—Along the north shore of the gulf of St. Lawrence, the

Indians have been taking a marked interest in the fishing industry. At Mingan,Natashkwan, Eomaine, St. Augustine, and Moisie, the fishing is under depart-

mental supervision. Salmon and cod are the principal marketable fish and are a

source of considerable income to the Indians. The land is not suitable for extensive

cultivation but many of the Indians have very creditable gardens.

NEW BRUNSWICK

Agencies.—There are three agencies in the province of New Brunswick, the

Northeastern located at Buctouehe. the Northern located at Perth, and the South-

western located at Frederioton.

Tribal Origin.—The majority of the Indians of New Brunswick belong to the

Micmac race, which is of Algonkin stock. In addition to these there are some bands

of Maleeites, also of Algonkin stock.

OccupaHon-s.—In the Northeast division the Indians are mostly engaged in

fishing, hunting and trapping. Some farming is carried on, and the Indians have

rather tendetl to increase their interest in this r^ard.

The lumbering industry employs quite a large number and the Indians all

through the eastern provinces have become very proficient in the lumber camps, on

the river drives and in the mills. In the Northern division there is less farming

carried on, and the Indians during the summer months find employment generally

as day labourers. In the Southern division they support themselves chiefly by the

manufacture and sale of Indian wares.

NOVA SCOTU

Agencies.—There are nineteen Indian agencies in the province of Nova Scotia,

namely: Yarmouth, Digby, Shelburn, Queens, Lunenburg, Annapolis, Kings, Windsor,

Shubenacadie, Halifax, Cumberland, Colchester. Pictou, Antigonish-Guysboro, Rich-

mond, Inverness, Victoria, Sydney, and Eskasoni.

28 DEPARTMES T OF INDIAN AFFAIRS

13 GE0RT5E V, A. 1923

Tribal Origin.—The Indians "f Xova Scotia are of Algonkin stock, and hear the

distinctive name of Micmac.

Occupations.—They follow various occupations, but, as a rule, do not cuntine

themselves to anj' particular one. Many of them cultivate the land with indifferent

success, but as there are exceptions in almost every case, so it is with our Indians;

a few of them are succeeding very well as farmers. The majority of those living

near industrial centres usually work as day labourers. Hunting, trapping, andacting as guides for sportsmen are favourite occupations, more especially with

Indians of middle age. Basket-making, and the manufacture of fancy moccasins,

etc., are confined mostly to women. A profitable employment among Indians in a

few sections of Nova Scotia is the manufacture of hockey sticks, and they appeai

to be experts at the business.

Health and Sanitation.—The general health of Indians in this Province duringthe past year was normal. No disease of an epidemic character appeared amongthem. They suffer most from tuberculosis, which, however, seems to be less in

evidence than formerly. Sanitary regulations are very well observed by most of

them, and they begin to realize fully the importance of cleanliness and pure air as

preservers and promoters of good health.

Buildings.—With very few exceptions, Indians in Nova Scotia occupy houses

of frame construction, well finished on the outside, but unfinished inside. Everysettlement, however, has a few comfortable dwellings well finished throughout.

Other buildings owned by Indians—barns and storehouses—are mostly of frameconstruction also.

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAKD

Agency.—One agency is sufficient for the purposes of the department in this

province, as the total Indian population is only 292.

Tribal Origin.—The Indians of this province all belong to the Micmac tribe,

which is of Algonkin stock.

Occupations.—But few of the Indians of Prince Edward Island are farmers.

The principle industries are basket-making and fishing. The oyster fisheries, whichhad been a complete failure for some years, is again profitable and has added some-what to the income of the Indians.

MANITOB.i.

Agencies.—The following agencies are included in the province of Manitoba:

Fisher Eiver, Clandeboye, Norway House, Griswold, Portage la Prairie and Manito-

wapah, Pas and Birtle.

Tribal Origin.—The majority of the Indians of Manitoba belong to the Ojibwa

race, which is of Algonkin stock. Bands of Swampy Cress are fotmd at the NorwavHouse and Fisher River agencies and in the York Factory district; these are also of

Algonkin stock. The Indians located at the Griswold agency are Sioux; there are

also Sioux at the Birtle and Portage la Prairie agencies. There is a band of

Chipewayans at Fort Churchill; this tribe is of Athapascan stock.

The reserves in Manitoba suitable for extensive agriculture are mainly within

the Birtle, Griswold, and Portage la Prairie agencies. On some reserves during the

last two years the crops have not been up to the standard and the Indians have some-

what lost heart in their farming operations, but generally speaking progress has

been satisfactory.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT-GENERAL 29

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 14

In the northern agencies the occupations are mostly hunting and trapping, butfishing has been becoming a more and more important factor during the past fouror five years, and considerable income has been derived therefrom. While fur hasbeen scarce the price has been high and the market for fish has increased. All ofthe northern Indians are expert guides and canoe-men, and many find employmentin this way or with the transport or fur companies.

In the southern and more settled districts many of the younger people seeii

employment as day labourers, and owing to the high wages have been fairly pros-

perous. The Indian women make needle work, baskets, etc., for which there is aready market.

Health.—The health of the Indians throughout the province has been good, in

fact, the steady improvement has been very noticeable. More sanitary methods of

living and more comfortable houses and more steady incomes have tended not alittle towards this improvement. The bouses are more comfortable and of better

construction ; as a rule they are well furnished and the Indians are living in moreand more comfort. While in the north the nomadic life of the Indians does not

permit of other than the old fashioned log house, still even these arc being greatly

improved and in some cases are being replaced by suitable frame dwellings.

SASKATCHEWAN

Agencies.—The following agencies are included in the province of Saskatchewan:

Assiniboine, Battleford, Carlton, Crooked Lake, Duck Lake, Moose Mountain,

Onion Lake. Pelly, Qu'Appclle, and Touchwood Hills.

Tribal Origin.—The most numerous tribes among the Saskatchewan Indians are

the Ojibwas, Swampy Cress and Plains Cress, which all belong to the great Algonkin

stock. In addition to these, Sioux Indians are found at the Assiniboine, Moose

Mountain, Qu'Appelle and Carlton agencies, and on the Moose Woods reserve. In

the Onion Lake agency there is a band of Chipewyans, who are of Athapascan stock.

There are also a few Chipewyan Indians in the Isle a la Crosse district.

The principal occupation of the Indians of Saskatchewan is mixed farming and

stock-raising. The close supervision which the department has had over these

Indians has tended to greatly improve their method of farming and consequently

their crops and income derived from them have greatly increased. Most of the

Indians are well provided with good quality of machinery. As a rule they have

good stock and suitable houses. In the outlying districts, however, hunting and

trapping are still the main sources of income and will so remain until civilization

encroaches upon the hunting grounds.

Health.—The health of the Indians of Saskatchewan has on the whole been good

and shows some impovenient over previous years. The department has instituted

a staff of nurses, with headquarters at Eegina, which will be available for duty at

any reserve when called upon. It is hoped that by constant supervision and in-

struction that the health of the Indians will continue to show even greater improve-

ment than in the past.

Dwellings.—The dwellings of the Indians on the reserves where farming is

carried on are now mostly of frame construction. The outbuildings, however, are

generally of logs, but even there there has been some improvement.

ALBERTA

Agencies.—The following agencies are included in the province of Alberta:

Blackfoot, Blood, Edmonton. Hobbema, Peigan, Saddle Lake, Sarcee, Stony, and

Lesser Slave Lake.

Page 34: Annual Report of the Department of Indian Affairs, for the year ......13GEORGEV SESSIONALPAPERNo.14 A.1923 CONTENTS PART I Page OurIndianTreaties 7 HealthSupervision.. 14 Amendmen>cstotheIndianAct

30 DEPARTMEST OF INDIAN AFFAIRS

13 GEORGE V, A. 1923

Tribal Origin.—The Alberta Indians are of Algoukin stock, with tlie exception

of the Sarcees near Calgary and the Beavers and Slaves in the Lesser Slave Lakeagency, who are Athapascan, and the Paul's band in the Edmonton agency, who are

Iroquoian, and the Stonies, who are of Siouan stock. The Algonkin Indians of

Alberta are subdivided into Blackfoot nation, comprising the Indians of the Black-foot, Blood and Peigan agencies. Plain Crees found in the Lesser Slave Lake, SaddloLake, and Ilobbema agencies, and a band of Ojibbewas at Moberly Lake, in the

Lesser Slave Lake agency.

The principal occupations of the Indians of Alberta are farming and stock-raising. Almost all the reserves in the settled districts of the province have largeherds of horses and cattle.

In the northern parts of the province hunting and trapping are still almost thesole sources of income; there is practically no farming carried on and the con-struction of steamers on the Peace and Athabasca rivers, and of the railways toPeace River Crossing and Fort MeMurray have greatly lessened the wages of theIndians with the trading companies and transports. However, the price of fur hasbeen even higher than in past years.

Buildings in the Southern Part of the Province.—The dwellings and farmbuildings are of excellent construction and quality. Almost all the reserves whereextensive farming is carried on boast on up-to-date modern dwellings, comfortableand well constructed. In the north the nomadic mode of the habits forces them to

live under canvas or in tepees during the greater part of the year.

BRITISH COLUMBU

Agencies.—The following agencies are included in the province of British

Columbia : Babine and Upper Skenna, Bella Coola, Cowichan, Kamloops, Kootenay,Kwawkewlth, Lytton, Nass, New Westminster, Okanagan. Queen Charlotte, Stikine,

Stuart Lake, "West Coast, Williams Lake and Skeena River.

Trihal Origin.—The Indians of the Bella Coola, Cowichen, Kamloops, Lytton,

!N^ew Westminster, and Okanagan agencies belong to the Salish tribe. The Kootenaytribe is located in the agency of the same name. The Kwakiutl-Xootka tribe is

located at the Kwawkewlth and West Coast agencies: the Haidas, in the QueenCharlotte islands; the Tlingits, in the Stikine; and the Tsimshians, in the Naasagency. The Indians of the Babine, Stuart Lake and Williams Lake agencies belong

to the Athapascan race.

In addition to these there are about 3,000 nomadic Indians in the province whjcannot be correctly classified according to linguistic stock or tribal origin.

Occupations.—The occupations of the Indians of British Columbia vary with

their habitat. The Indians situated along the coast earn their livelihood principally

by fishing. In many instances they own their own motor-launches, nets and gear,

while others are supplied by the various canneries. Many of the woment are also

employed in the canneries or in the hop fields, and make a very steady income.

The Indians of the Queen Charlotte islands own and operate their own small

plant for rendering the oolachan or candle fish. In the inland parts of the province

some farming operations are carried on and particularly in the irrigated districts

grain, fruits of all kinds, and vegetables have been raised with siiceess.

These Indians have been making marked progress in this regard and are nowwell equipped with modern machinery.

The Kootenay, Kamloops, Okanagan and New Westminster Indians own large

herds of horses and cattle. "While the Indians in the northern and remote parts of

the province still depend upon hunting and trapping for their livelihood, the agents

report a marked improvement in their manner of living.

REPORT OF THL SUPERINTENDENT-GEXERAL 31

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 14

Dwellings.—Except for the more remote districts the Indians have built com-

fortable and modern dwellings and outbuildings. Their progress in this respect has

been perhaps more rapid than any other Indians of the Dominion.

NORTHWEST TERRITORIES

Agencies.—The department has only two agencies in the Jforthwest Territories,

one being located at Fort Simpson, and the other at Fort Smith.

Tribal Origin.—The principal tribes found in the Far North are the Slaves,

Hares, Loucheux, Seeanies, Dogribs, Yellow-knives, Chipewyans and Caribou Eaters.

All these tribes are of Athapascan stock. There are a few Crees in the neighbour-

hood of Chipewyan. These are of Algonkin stock. The most northely tribes are the

Tukudah. who extend to the Mackenzie Delta, and the Copper Mines, who are located

along the Coppermine river. The territory occupied by these two last-mentioned

tribes is contiguous to that inhabited by the Eskimos.

These Indians depend entirely upon hunting and trapping for a livelihood. Thedepartment last year has made a treaty with the Indians along the Mackenzie river

thus bringing under the supervision of the Dominion Government practically the

only Indians Canada with whom treaty had not been made.

Occupations.—A few have been induced to raise small plots of potatoes. They

own no horses or cattle, transportation being almost entirely by canoe along the

great waterways, or by dogs in winter. They catch and preserve large quantities of

whitefish for their own use and for consumption by their dog-trains in winter.

Health.—Tuberculosis and scrofula are the diseases most prevalent among the

Indians of the north. As they are forced to move from place to place their

methods of living are primitive and the lack of vegetbles is a source of menace to

their health;

however, conditions are greatly improving.

YUKOX

Tribal Origin.—The Forty Mile, Blackstone, and Moosehide bands belong to the

Takudh tribe. There is a band of Slavies at Lancing Creek who migrated from Fort

Grood Hope, on the Mackenzie river; another band of Slavies, called Nahanies, is

located at the headwaters of the Pelly river. All these Indians are of Athapasca"

.'tpck. At Mayo, Selkirk, Little Salmon and Carrnacks thefe are bands belonging t )

the tribe known as Stick Indians. Bands belonging to the Tlinjit tribe are found

at AVJiiti'horse, Teslin Lake, Champagne Landing, and Carcross.

Occupations.—Hunting, trapping and fishing are the chief occupations of the

Yukon Indians, and they have been fairly successful during the past year. The

women also derive some revenue from the sale of moccasins and curios of various

kinds, while the men are expert at making toboggans and snowshoes. Practically no

farming is carried on owing to climatic conditions, but some of the Indians cultivate

patches of potatoes and other vegetables.^

Health.—The general health of the Indians has been good. No epidemics have

been reported and although improvement in sanitary conditions is necessarily slow

owing to the remoteness of the district, some improvement has been noticed.

FINANCIAL

At the ckse of the twelve months ended March 31, 1922, the capital of the

Indian Trust Fund, which at the end of the preceding year amounted to $11,458,-

560.99, had decreased to $11,402,577.43.

$127,829.66. Deposits and interest during the twelve months aggregated $45,867.53

and withdrawals $30,241.23.

GENERAL

The Indians of Canada, as such, have had a comparatively normal year.

In common with other sections of the community, the Indians have felt ths

effects of the industrial depression aiid low prices of agricultural products, whichhave inevitably reduced their earnings and proceeds of their farming operations.

The hun'ting Indians, however, have enjoyed an exceptionally good year, their incomefrom the sale of the skins having doubled, being $1,624,494, as compared with $860,494

last year.

The Indian population is fairly stable at about one hundred thousand, although

census statistics over a long period show a slight increase from year to year, dispel-

ling the popular misconception that they are dying out.

The record of the Indians in the <^eat war should give the public a better under-standing of the sterling qualities of the race. An interesting article on this subject

appeared in the report of the department for 1919.

In part II. which follows herewith, will be found statistics with regard to Census

;

Grain, Vegetable and Root Production; Land, Private and Public Buildings andProperty; Live Stock and Poultry, General Effects; Value of Real and PersonalProperty and Progress during year; Sources and Value of Income; Schools; IndianLand; Civil Government; Appropriation Accounts, and Indian Trust "Fund.

I have the honour to be, sir,

Tour obrdient servant,

DUNCAN C. SCOTT,Deputy Superintendent General of Indian Affairs.
