No. 1248.

Copy of a Report of a Committee of the Honorable the Privy Cowncil, approved by His
Excellency the Governor General in Council on the 30th April, 1875. — .

On a memorandum dated 27th April, 1875, from the Honorable the Minister of
the Interior, bringing under consideration the very unsatisfactory state of alfairs
arising out of the so-called “outside promises” in connection with the Indian
Treaties Nos. 1 and 2, Manitoba and North-West Territories, concluded, the former
on the 3rd August, 1871, and the latter on 21st of the same month, and recommend-
ing for the reasons stated :—

1st. That the written memorandum attached to Treaty No. 1 be considered as ~
part of that treaty and of Treaty No. 2, and that the Indian Commissioner be
instructed to carry out the promises therein contained in so far as they have not
yet been carried out, and that the Commissioner be advised to inform the Indians

that he has been authorized so to do.
2nd. That the Indian Commissioner be instructed to inform the Indians, parties

to Treaties Nos. 1 and 2, that while the Government cannot admit their claim to
anything which is not set forth in the treaty and in the memorandum attached thereto,
which treaty is binding alike upon the Government and upon the Indians, yet as
there seems to have been some misundersanding between the Indian Commissioner
and the Indians in the matter of Treaties Nos. 1 and 2, the Government, out of good —
feeling to the Indians, and as a matter of benevolence, is willing to raise the annual
payment to each Indian under Treaties Nos. 1 and 2 from $3 to $5 per annum, and
make payment over and above such sum of $5, of $20 each and every year to each
Chief, and a suit of clothing every three years to each Chief and each Headman,
allowing two Headmen to each band; on the express understanding, however, that
each Chief or other Indian who shall receive such increased annuity or annual pay- —
ment shall be held to abandon all claim whatever against the Government in con-
nection with the so-called “outside promises,” other than those contained in the

memorandum attached to the treaty.

The Committee submit the foregoing recommendation for Your Excellency’s

approval.
