Read with context
A federal written record; specific Nation identities and oral assurances require Nation-led sources rather than inference from a general label.
Questions to investigate
- Compare the provision for land held by individuals with Treaty 6's reserve provisions.
- Separate a commissioner's report from the treaty wording: what kind of evidence does each provide?
