Two hundred children narrowly escaped death when the skating

after last child was evacuated, the ice, where they had been skating,
was buried under tons of debris, above” Alerted to ominous sound of

The Cracker Barrel Forum

A. J.

The old time Indians with whom
we were acquainted always claimed
the British Columbia Goyerument
had reneged on the land settlement
agreements entered into with them.

Many of the earlier white settlers
supported this contention bur no one

The concensus ‘of opinion leaned to}
the belief that when B.C. joined the
Dominion in 1871 she washed her
hands of the native problem and, in
effect, told the Federal government
that henceforth it was their head-
ache.

In an article appearing recently in
the Daily- Province, A. B. McKely
cites a letter written in 1871 by Sir
James Douglas to Lt. Col, Israel Pow-
ell the first Indian Commissicner of
Canada, which throws some light on
the subject. This letter, just unearth-
ed in the provincial archives, declar-
ed definitely that the established
land policy of the Crown Colony of
B.C. was to establish commural re-
serves but that in addition, Indians
as individuals were placed on the
same basis as any other of “Her Ma-
jesty’s’’ subjects in respect of secur-
ing pre-emption lands.

The meagre acres meted out to
many of the communal reserves, to
which this forum has previously re-
ferred, was undoubtedly due/in large
part to this policy of individual
quisition; without loss of tke other
benefits accruing to them under the
terms of settlement specifica‘ly set

is the intention of the Legislature

communal reserves will entirely dis-

hope all doubt will be removed as to
the terms under which the pre-

If they must renounce their Indian
rights due to inability to be domiciled
in two places at one and the. same
time, it would be well for them to
know aforehand. As we see it, under’
those conditions the so-called 1estor-
