Description
-
This binder consists of the initial work of Peter O'Reilly as Indian Reserve Commissioner. O'Reilly's covering letters for his Minutes of decision to the federal and provincial governments differed significantly. This is apparent in O'Reilly's first reporting letter dated May 14,1881. In his letter to the CCLW, O'Reilly wrote only about issues affecting provincial interests, in this case the abandonment of a pre-emption [Corr. No. 435/81 ]. In his letter to Superintendent General of Indian Affairs [Federal Collection, vl. 8, pp. 270-75], O'Reilly outlined his planned itinerary, provided a description of the living conditions of the Indians, population figures, traditional and agricultural pursuits and did not even mention the cancellation of the pre-emption record.
