Now know ye, that we the said Principal Chiefs, Warriors and people of the Chippawa Nation for and in consideration of the sum of eight hundred pounds Quebec currency value in goods estimated according to the Montreal price now delivered to us, the receipt whereof we hereby acknowledge, have given, granted, sold, disposed of and confirmed and by these presents do give, grant, sell, dispose of and confirm forever unto Alexander McKee, Esquire, Deputy Superintendent General and Deputy Inspector General of Indians and of their affairs, for and on behalf of His said Britannic Majesty King George the Third, His heirs and successors, all that parcel or tract of land lying on and near to the said River Chenail Ecarté, which river is known in the Indian names as follows (that is to say) from the River St. Clair to the first fork on the south side Pakeitchewanse and from the said fork on the north side Wapissejunkissycawpowa, beginning at the said first fork where the Ottawa Village now stands and where the east line of the lands purchased of us and other Indian Nations by the Crown in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety commences and following the several windings of the said river up the stream to the River St. Clair; thence up the said River St. Clair following the several windings thereof to a hickory tree marked with a broad arrow, fifty links above a small run being twelve miles and a half on a direct north course from the said fork; thence east nine hundred and twenty three Gunter’s chains; thence south until it intersects the east line of the said land purchased as aforesaid, in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety; thence west following the said east line to the said fork, being the place of beginning.
