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

On a memorandum dated 27th April, 1875, from the Honourable the Minister of
the Interior, bringing under consideration the very unsatisfactory state of affairs
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 7
on the 3rd August, 1871, and the latter on 21st of the same month, and recommending ©
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 in- —
structed 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.

ond. 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 any
thing 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 misunderstanding 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 ard 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 connec-
tion with the so-called “outside promises,” other than those contained in the memo-

randum attached to the treaty.
Tne Committee submit the foregoing recommendation for Your Excellency’s ©

approval:
