APPENDIX 473
To HAVE A N D TO HOLD the same to Her Majesty the Queen
and, Her successors for ever.
And Her Majesty the Queen H E R E B Y AGREES with the said
Indians that they shall have right to pursue their usual vocations
of hunting, trapping and fishing throughout the tract
surrendered as heretofore described, subject to such regulations
as may from time to time be made by the Government of the
country, acting under the authority of Her- Majesty, and saving
and excepting such tracts as may be required or taken up from
time to time for settlement, mining, lumbering, trading or
other purposes.
And Her Majesty the Queen hereby agrees and undertakes
to lay aside reserves for such bands as desire reserves, the same
not to exceed in all one square mile for each family of five for
such number of families as may elect to reside on reserves, or
in that proportion for larger or smaller families; and for such
families or individual Indians as may prefer to live apart
from band reserves, Her Majesty undertakes to provide land in
severalty to the extent of 160 acres to each Indian, the land
to be conveyed with a proviso as to non- alienation without the
consent of the Governor- General- in- Council of Canada, the
selection of such reserves, and lands in severalty, to be made in
the manner following, namely, the Superintendent- General of
Indian Affairs shall depute and send a suitable person to determine
and set apart such reserves and lands, after consulting
with the Indians concerned as to the locality which may be
found suitable and open for selection.
Provided, however, that Her Majesty reserves the right to
deal with any settlers within the bounds of any lands reserved
for any band as She may see fit; and also that the aforesaid
reserves of land, or any interest therein, may be sold or otherwise
disposed of by Her Majesty's Government, for the use and
benefit of the said Indians entitled thereto, with their consent
first had and obtained.
It is further agreed between Her Majesty and Her said
Indian subjects that such portions of the reserves and lands
above indicated as may at any time be required for public
works, buildings, railways, or roads of whatsoever nature, may
be appropriated for that purpose by Her Majesty's Government
of the Dominion of Canada, due compensation being
made to the Indians for the value of any improvements thereon,
and an equivalent in land, money or other consideration for
the area of the reserve so appropriated.
