T'o the Saukings:
My CHILDREN,

You have heard the proposal I have just made to the Chippewas and Ottawas,
by which it has been agreed between them and your Great Father that these islands
(Manatoulin), on which we are now assembled, should be made, in Council, the pro-
perty (under your Great Father’s control) of all Indians whom he shall allow to reside
on them.

T now propose to you that you should surrender to your Great Father the Sauking
Territery you at present occupy, and that you should repair either to this island or
to that part of your territory which lies on the north of Owen Sound, upon which
proper houses shall be built for you, and proper assistance given to enable you to be-
come civilized and to cultivate land, which your Great Father engages for ever to
protect for you from the encroachments of the whites.

Are you, therefore, the Sauking Indians, willing to accede to this arrangement; if

go, affix your marks to this my proposal.
