Summary

Joseph Howe, Indian Commissioner for Nova Scotia, was unable to attend Pictou to survey Mi'kmaq reserves. In his absence, he asked James Dawson (Pictou Merchant, ship-owner, and proprietor of a book store) to secure a piece of land that could be obtained for a reserve. This letter appears to be part of a larger correspondence between Howe and Dawson pertaining to Mi'kmaq land and education in Pictou.

Poor copy letter from George Smith (resident of Pictou) asking for the Lieutenant Governor to consider allowing the purchase of land from Mr. Moodie at Moodie point for the Mi'kmaq who were already residing on the land. Smith stated that the Mi'kmaq would only accept that tract of land, and he asked for the government to purchase it. Moodie agreed to the sale. Interestingly, early maps of Pictou show an Indian Village at that point, predating Moodie's claims.

1829- Petition by James Lulan for title to land at Moodie Point
-
Date

-
Summary
-
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.
