Description
-
This volume deals with some of the work of the Joint Indian Indian Reserve Commission (JIRC), but primarily it contains correspondence related to Sproat's work as sole Indian Reserve Commissioner. Sproat is appointed the sole Indian Reserve Commissioner on March 15,1878 [p. 79]. The correspondence deals with a variety of issues including costs of operation of the Commission, difficulties dealing with the B.C. government, Sproat's perception and interpretation of policies; Sproat's perception and interpretation of his interactions with the Indians [eg. pp. 131,151, 153, 165, 182, 219, 253, 277, 336, 343], and, as Sproat characterizes it, the "settling the Indian Land question."
