No. 45.

My Children:

Seventy snow seasons have now passed away since we met in Council at the
crooked place (Niagara), at which time and place your Great Father, the King, and
the Indians of North America tied their hands together by the wampum of friendship.

Since that period various circumstances have occurred to separate from your Great
Father many of his red. children, and as an unavoidable increase of white population,
as well as the progress of cultivation, have had the natural effect of impoverishing your
hunting grounds it has become necessary that new, arrangements should be entered into
for the purpose of protecting you from the encroachments of the whites.

In all parts of the world farmers seek for uncultivated land as eagerly as you, my
red children, hunt in your forest for game. If you would cultivate your land it would
then be considered your own property, in the same way as your dogs are considered
among yourselves to belong to those who have reared them; but uncultivated land is like
wild animals, and your Great Father, who has hitherto protected you, has now great
difficulty in securing it for you from the whites, who are hunting to cultivate it.

Under these circumstances, I have been obliged to consider what is best to be done
for the red children of the forest, and I now tell you my thoughts.

It appears that these islands on which we are now assembled in Council are, as
well as all those on the north shore of Lake Huron, alike claimed by the English, the
Ottawas and the Chippewas.

I consider that from their facilities and from their being surrounded by innumer-
able fishing islands, they might be made a most desirable place of residence for many In-
dians who wish to be civilized, as well as to be totally separated from the whites; and I
now tell you that your Great Father will withdraw his claim to these islands and allow
them to be applied for that purpose.

Are you, therefore, the Ottawas and Chippewas, willing to relinquish your respec-
tive claims to these islands and make them the property (under your Great Father's
control) of all Indians whom he shall allow to reside on them; if so, affix your marks
to this my proposal.

Manitowaning, 9th August, 1836.
