Petition from James Lulan, asking for title for a piece of land at Moodie Point, which the Mi'kmaq in Pictou had cleared and planted for the last 50 years (not to mention had used for thousands of years prior to white settlement). The settler who pre-empted the land, Mr. Moodie, asked for them to be removed from the land. Lulan asked for this land to be granted or for a similar tract of land somewhere else, but insisted that it be near the town of Pictou. The letter also asked for relief to help them as they would not be able to rely on their spring planting as they had no access to land.
