APPENDIX 473 



To HAVE AND TO HOLD the Same to Her Majesty the Queen 

 and , Her successors for ever. 



And Her Majesty the Queen hereby agrees with the said 

 Indians that they shall have right to pursue their usual voca- 

 tions 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 deter- 

 mine 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 other- 

 wise 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 Govern- 

 ment 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.
