When the waterways call, 
make the trip in an “Old 
Town.” The shallowest trout 
brook will float it. On choppy 
lake waters, it rides as steady 
as a launch. 
An “Old Town Canoe” is so 
light one man can carry it. It 
is so strong and sturdy that 
it gives years of service. It is 
so responsive that the slightest 
pressure of the paddle sends it 
gliding on its way. Write for 
catalog. 3,000 canoes in stock.

we may, the rest of our days, smoke the 
pipe of friendship; live and die to- 
gether; see our children play, and be 
reared on one spot. Tve ask no money 
of you. We love you; and because we 
love you and feel for your children, we 
propose this. 
“Brothers! There are many sub- 
jects which we should consider. But 
the most important are: 
1. Whether it would not be better 
for the whole Ojibway Nation to reside 
on this, our territory. 
2. Ought not a petition be drawn up 
and presented to Our Great Father 
(the Governor General) for the fixing 
upon a definite time for the distribu- 
tion of the annual “presents”, and 
small annuities of each tribe. 
3. As we have abandoned our for- 
mer customs and ceremonies, ought we 
r.ot to make our own laws, in order to 
give character and stability to our 
chiefs, as well as to empower them to 
treat with the Government under 
which we live, that we may, from time 
to time, present all our grievances and 
other matters to the General Govern- 
ment. 
“My Chiefs, Brothers, Warriors! 
This morning, look up, see the sky, it is 
blue; there are no clouds; the sun is 
bright and clear. Our fathers taught 
us that at such assemblies when the 
sky was without clouds the Great 
Spirit was smiling upon them. May 
He now preside over us that we may 
make a long, smooth and straight path 
for our children. It is true, I seldom 
see you all; but this morning, I shake 
hands with you all in my heart. 
“Brothers! This is all I have to 
say.' 
T HE petition of the Ojibway chiefs 
in General Council, respecting the 
unceded lands north of Saugeen, 
Canada West, June 5th, 1814. 
To our Great Father, Lord Metcalf, 
Governor General of British North 
America, and Captain General of the 
same, etc., etc.: 
The Ojibway Chiefs in General 
Council assembled, 
HUMBLY SHOWETH: 
Father, — Your Petitioners having 
ceded a great portion of their once ex- 
tensive territory about Saugeen and 
Owen’s Sound, and a portion of it hav- 
ing been restored to them since the 
treaty of 1806, by your Excellency’s 
gracious commands: 
Father,- — Your petitioners are very 
anxious that the reserve (now still 
known as the Indian Territory) be a 
perpetual reserve; as a future refuge 
for a general colonization of the Ojib- 
way Nation, comprising the scattered 
Tribes in Canada West; 
Father, — And that these lands may 
now and forever be opened to all the 
Tribes; that whenever any tribe is 
disposed to move, that they may have 
nothing to fear, but have access to any 
of the good lands to settle upon; 
Father, — You have settled your 
white children on those lands that once 
were our fathers; we ask now to let us 
have the only remaining land we have, 
to ourselves, unmolested. 
Father, — This is the prayer of your 
red children; and feeling, confident that 
you will give it every important con 
sideration which it requires, your red 
children will listen to hear the answer 
of their Great Father.
